I too share your fear of 4chan although I did click on the link because I didn't know wtf he was referencing. Here's the text (edited to be less offensive):<br><br><b>Cool story, bro</b> is the ultimate shut down to obvious trolling, to which there is no response. It's versatile
in that it simultaneously acknowledges the given failure, shows
moderate approval, and conveys the fact that nobody cares.<p>Alternate ways to say it may be utilized, like the following:
</p>
<ul><li> Riveting tale, chap.
</li><li> Chida historia, carnal</li><li> Cool story, broseph
</li><li> Cool story, hoeseph
</li><li> Chill shit, nigger
</li><li> Interesting chronicle, sibling
</li><li> Friends and a cool story (<a href="http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Moonspeak" title="Moonspeak">Moonspeak</a>)
</li><li> Sugoi monogatari, ankiki (for the <a href="http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Weeaboo" class="mw-redirect" title="Weeaboo">weeaboo</a>)
</li></ul>

<div style="word-wrap: break-word;">I don't click on links to that site or 4chan. I suppose it is a meme, great I was unaware. But you should take into consideration peoples feelings before wielding the power of a meme against them.<div>
