This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Is that what it means? I never would've guessed.

Not sure if I'm out of touch, or just successfully avoiding cesspits.

Technically yes, but not in the modern sense of the word, which it predates. It's a reference to SomethingAwful users, who were called goons.

Yeah, I didn't heed a user's warning and decided to check out a link to a site I won't name. Scary stuff, it's 4chan-esque and they have a dedicated channel for finding and attacking/doxxing people. 9 in 10 messages have an unnecessary slur, as if they're all ten years old
