Well... I hope that these have managed to get the rage out of your
systems, at least for a time. *chuckle* Such a small girl, so much
rage...
Seriously, though, it does sometimes seem like the Internet brings the
lowest-common-denominator out in force. Though I know that they've
always been there... there is a certain attitude of "you owe me, simply
because I exist", that is also present. Hopefully, in most, it gets
tempered with time and the rest of us telling them, "we're not going to
put up with your uncivilized behavior".
Which this was a prime example of. Thank you, Des and Jim, for doing
these up and coloring them - they're quite entertaining rants, for
those of us who are (hopefully) mature enough to be out of the target
group.
