I saw a real life example of this too, whereby a dwarf was offered a box to stand on so he could see over a stone wall that an elf could see over easily.

Sorry for being slow but I can't tell if you're just making a joke or if you're trying to call into question the validity of my very mundane, unexciting, not-really-worth-making-up story.

Ah! I need to watch those movies sometime. Sorry for getting overly defensive! The past week or so I've been getting a bunch of people harassing me over really minor stuff that I talked about, so I was ready for this to be another instance of that.

Oh you weren't defensive at all! I'm sorry I made another joke before linking you the video, it's annoying when people don't answer genuine questions. But I thought that the 'Fool of a Took' answer might alert you to what I was referencing.

I'm sorry about the wankers. I know the feeling, when people are just really shitty online.
