This particular Chinese meme... I don't know where it is coming from, but it sounds REALLY unwise. Not everyone has a constructive or well-informed & thought-out comment to contribute to a conversation. Some people, in fact, should NOT respond to topics. The internet is already a shitty place to have a conversation because anyone can suddenly chip in at any time with their own stupid opinion based on misinformation. Demanding participation for participation's sake can lead to confusion in the thread as fires spread beyond a manageable and readable point for others, and whatever is left is just non-burnable garbage.
... sorta like a bamboo forest conflagration, MOKOU.
