    This actually did happen and that’s probably what the green text is based off of.

    I remember reading the article a few years ago, linked off of Reddit iirc, so if someone wants to go wade in those waters again you’ll probably find it

      Now that you mention it, it does sound familiar. I’m not sure if it’s a constructed memory on my part though.

      Given that people have done things like spash acid on their former partners’ faces and say things like “if I can’t have you then no one can” then I’m not terribly surprised that someone might try something like this.

      But you’re right, in general I don’t trust green texts as truth. This could easily just be someone summarizing a story that happened as a green text though (which is a common thing).
