1. Misuse of Analogy (Physical Room vs. Forum Thread)
• The author compares a forum thread to a physical room.
• In reality, a forum isn’t a space you “enter” or “leave” in the physical sense — it’s asynchronous.
• Your posts remain visible whether or not you are actively participating. Unlike a room, your “presence” in a thread doesn’t require you to continuously be there.
So the “room graffiti” analogy is misleading. On a forum, your past contributions do still exist as part of the ongoing conversation.

2. Over-Simplification of “Leaving”
• Saying someone has “left” a thread just because they aren’t currently active is reductive.
• Many forum users dip in and out; they aren’t “gone” until they say so or the thread is closed.
• Online discussions don’t follow the same rules of real-time presence as a physical conversation.

3. Problematic Language
• The phrase “wigger fag wuz here” is offensive and derogatory.
• Even if used as a throwaway example, it’s inappropriate and distracts from the argument.
• In most forums, using slurs undermines credibility and risks moderation action.
⸻
4. Tone and Dismissiveness
• Opening with “Basic English, my man” sets a condescending tone.
• Instead of clarifying a concept, it frames the other person as ignorant.
• That kind of tone often escalates conflict rather than resolving confusion.
