      Possible interpretation assuming positive intent: “Lol” in this case could mean “Oh shit, I didn’t realize that, damn the internet sucks at attribution. It’s funny that even I can get caught in it sometimes.”

      “Lol” doesn’t have to be douchey if you don’t want it to be.

      (I acknowledge that I don’t know @[email protected] and they could be a douche, but I choose to assume they’re not until proven otherwise)

        It was def a positive intent, a “fuck how did I miss that”

          Guy was going for a cheap shot and hoping to get a pat on the back for it I guess? The mental gymnastics he’s going through explaining himself is borderline legendary.
