'remarkable restraint' is right

Over at The Atlantic there’s a piece on the problems with the Martin Luther King Jr. memorial. The subject’s been much discussed, of course. But one reader thinks its biggest failing hasn’t been discussed enough. Here’s the first comment on the piece from a user named “nicholas1987″:

Or maybe because it’s at a mall? You seem to gloss right over that. The memorial is a disgusting corporate perversion of MLK’s legacy and twisting it into a ploy to draw people to a mall.

This drew a response from another commenter (Zinger1905) who showed remarkable restraint when he told Nicholas1987:

The National Mall is not a shopping mall, it’s a wide-open green space.

Yeah, there had to be strong temptation to end that with "..., you farging' idiot."

For stupid comments like this one, Rof LMAO just doesn't cover it.
We need something like LSHDFRS (Laughed So Hard, Died From Rupturing Something) ;)
