Being called a twat on the Internet by twats on the Internet?
Try to be less of a twat on the Internet.

I'm glad you learnt from the experience.

Learning from other peoples mistakes is the best kind of learning.

You do us all a good service.
Although I would 'argue' that learning from your own mistakes is the best kind of learning. But let's stop here, eh?

Really?
What about the guy who just stepped out into the road when a bus was coming? I'm pretty sure I'm better off learning from his mistake than he is.

True, but a rare and extreme case I would imagine.
If you'd accidentally had a near-death experience I would imagine it has a more profound effect than seeing or hearing of someone else having actually died.

Kids on skateboards regularly see videos of other people crushing their nuts on handrails, but I'd wager many still go on to do just that to themselves. But possibly not twice.


Edit - for the bus scenario, the chances are you may still step out in front of a bus in your life at some time. As for the guy who died, he'd never do it again. Aren't statistics great!

Heheh, but it just goes to show how useless statistics often are....
Certainly such a man will only bus himself fatally once, but it would be a mistake to assume he learned anything!

Hmm....
Maybe if there was life after death...

Nah, let's not go there. Bugger I think it's a stalemate.
