Post #7729 by chk999 on the Berkshire Hathaway board

If someone appears to be repeatedly personal, lean towards patience as they might not mean offense. If you are sure, however, then do not deepen the problem by being negative; instead, simply place them on ignore by clicking the unhappy yellow face to the right of their name.

A few people on Reddit admitted to buying A shares using market orders.

At least one of those was from WallStreetBets where they make bad options plays. One guy from there committed suicide when a multi-legged play closed and it looked like he owed hundreds of thousands. Actually the play was slightly profitable and it would have all come out in the wash, but he didn't know enough about the strategy he was doing to understand how it unwound.

So using market orders during some kind of outage and getting burned is par for the course.
