Freaks and Geeks
You know, every now and then I get an unexplainable urge to find a message board community (usually relating to some geeky hobby of mind) and join it for some good discussion.
It's usually a bad decision. Most of these communities seem to be a collection of idiots, sociopaths and twee dickheads who think adding "smilies" to a stupid post will not make the other person annoyed.
It's doubly irritating that you can't reach out and strangle said anonymous wanker. Ah, the beauty of cyberspace - you can get pissed off at people you've never even met!
After each of these brief flings, I go into a period of detox, and then, one day, I return, naively hoping the dickheads aren't there anymore.
Big mistake.

Don't be so harsh on them Adian. They're probably poor pathetic Star Wars fasn who spend all day behind a computer working as a member of an IT support crew. They probably work for the government too.

Maybe you should seek angry management classes.
