Laughing out out out out...

Today, I've noticed something. Something I have of course seen before, but it never really bothered me. But today, it triggered something. It triggered endless hatred.
And what would that, that which triggers such emotion? It's "looooool".
I saw a conversation:
Person A: "what a child, probably a jew, haha"
Person B: "who's the jew here? ass!"
Person A: "Him, not me, looooool"

There's two things that really bother me about that, ignoring the content of the conversation.

1. What the fuck is "looooool" supposed to be?
LOL is short for Laughing Out Loud. What does that make of LOOOOOOL? Laughing Out Out Out Out Out Out Loud? When you add "etc" (Et Cetera, "and so on") after summing up a few things, you don't write "eeeeeetc" instead, do you? No, because it doesn't make any sense.
There is no reason or meaning for those extra o's added to "lol". All it does is make you look like a complete retard.

2. Assuming "looooool" is subsitute for "lol", what's so funny to laugh out loud for?
If the "lol" expression is used in valid conditions there, meaning he laughed out loud for that, than what kind of person is he? Yes, a retard.
I guess it doesn't matter wether he uses "looooool" or "lol" then.
I'm fine with the word "lol" and I can accept "lool", because typo's happen.
But 6 o's instead of just one...

"LOL" is starting to lose it's meaning. Rather than being short for "Laughing Out Loud", it has become a word on it's own. (ab)Used in conversations where there's nothing to laugh out loud for, stretched by adding meaningless letters to make it sound more like you're 13 years old.

What am I trying to achieve with this ranting about something that's part of daily internet life, about something that won't disappear because I complain about it?
All that I aim to achieve, all that I hope to achieve, is that YOU will just remember this post the next time you use "lol". All I want you to do is to THINK.

Thank you for withstanding this horrible complaining.
