Keep it up, gentlemen. Keep it up. I'd be more than happy to see this one go down to Chinatown.
I'm surprised by the drama I read when I logged in this morning.
WTF?
Personally I was once suspended from a site for suggesting that a guy consider suicide. It was one of these sites so often quoted on FSTDT where little boys get together and whine that girls won't get involved with them or sleep with them.
And this particular little maggot suggested that because of those evil women men should be able to go out and rape as they want with no punishment.
I had to respond.
It wasn't just that I suggested he should consider suicide, it's that I made a whole long post that the problem he has looks at him from the mirror every morning and suggested he get help.
People like that would grind my gears too, and you know, sometimes the most civil thing one can think of to say to someone is an invitation to become deceased.
One thing that grinds my gears is that we have to police that kind of speech - if it weren't for deranged people like Mabus who take Internet squabbles into real life, and litigious people that might sue if someone were to follow through on an online threat or suggestion and we didn't do anything about it.
It also grinds my gears further that there isn't a line that can be drawn that's very clear to everyone involved. That truly sucks.
What doesn't grind my gears is that the approach of least intervention appears to have cooled things off.
