Guy posts a picture his daughter drew. We repeatedly downvote him because he's not comfortable with posting pictures to prove he has a daughter. He finally does, and is forced to remove them due to inappropriate comments. You've got to be fucking kidding me, reddit

Edit: Wow. I have received (by my count) 333 orangereds in 11 hours because of this post, and I've read them ALL (and didn't even get any karma to show for it :P).

Overall, reddit completely restored my faith. Yes, there are an unbelievable amount of jerks and trolls (usually we never get to see them because of the voting system, but in this case each one is an orangered for me), but overall there was an awesome discussion, and there was an outpouring of apologies for the guy.

Yeah, there were some definite overreactions (probably the fault of this post), but reddit really came through. I'm once again glad to be a part of the community (I know this really doesn't matter to a lot of you, but experiencing something like this first hand really makes an affect on you.)
