the difference being he 'insulted' her in a two way conversation, and she reciprocated by 'calling him out' over the internet, who knows if she actually engaged him in a conversation about it, he might have been quite a normal chap, or maybe not, but at least she would have given him a chance, how often are things we write in a post misinterpreted? yes it was a stupid joke, but he might have been the man of her dreams and she has now binned him off, often when we meet our other halves its not love at first sight kind of thing
