[ WP ] By writing on this prompt you , and I , are somehow caught in a tangled web far in the future . `` It was just Reddit ! ''

How did it all come to this? it was just a comment on Reddit. I'd seen so many comments over the years that were offensive, scary or even depraved but somehow a simple comment had started the `` flame wars''. 
 
 At first it was a discussion on whether 50 Shades of Grey should count as a novel or be classified as erotic fan fiction. It quickly escalated to another internet flame war that we'd all seen hundreds of times before, it was amusing to watch at first; but then the doxing began. 
 
 It came out of nowhere, mass doxing so that the Reddit Admin staff could n't keep up with the blocks and bans. Turns out some girl in the US with access to ICBM's took the flame war a little too seriously. She actually launched a missile at one of the girls who was doxed. 
 
 The country that was targeted turned out to be Iran, which had just been waiting for an excuse to break out it's nuclear missiles. Once that ICBM was launched there was no diplomatic force on Earth that could close Pandora's box. 
 
 30 years later, 4 billion people dead and world wide nuclear winter, no country escaped the carnage. Africa is now the most dominant continent in the world; both in terms of population and Technology. Not having any missiles to take part in the early stages of the war it was overlooked but the Coalition of African Nations made their presence felt after the initial volleys had landed and wreaked their havoc. 
 
 Finally a sort of truce was reached with the key point being those responsible for starting the `` Flame Wars'' be put to trial for crimes against humanity. So here we are, The OP and I, on trial for a simple comment response.
