Meaning of "you've got to be"
I've found following sentence from one of bbc articles that I've read recently.
"If someone has the time and the mental capacity to want to go on an article and write a sentence about somebody, you've got to be quite an angry sad person," she says.
Please someone tell me what is the meaning of "you've got to be" in the above sentence. Does it state that the person who comment something bad on other's posts, is a angry and sad person?

It's bad English. We don't go on articles, and "you" is the wrong pronoun. Do you have a link to it?

0It is not good English. Here is a reasonable sentence:
"A person who has the time and the audacity to go on a tear and write something like that has got to be quite an angry sad person," she says.
The behaviour of that person leads to the conclusion that they are angry and sad.
