so if someone gets killed/raped/maimed/... (fi. by a serial killer/rapist/mutilator) because he/she put his/her phone number & address on FB, it means he/she deserved it? :rolleyes: :P

You don't deserve anything for doing that. Facebook on the other hand should be critized and compelled to remove such forms. Nonetheless, that most likely won't happen, but I'll voice my opinion regardless.

lol, i know what he meant by it, it goes to show how his absolute formulation does not apply in an absolute manner - might be a good idea not to use these if one is not 'absolutely' sure about their meaning :P

the rapist messed up the structure a bit, though it seems this wasn't the (main) reason for your 'misinterpretation', eh? ;)
