It really is too bad, but honestly, the people that are causing so much grief here on the boards are just that... people. We all deal with them, day in and day out. Sure, it sucks when someone comes along and brings a big black cloud into your sunny utopia online. But, it's a public forum. Just like the outside world, you just have to deal with it... take it with a grain of salt. Ignore all the jerks and move on.
I would never want to control the rest of the world... I'm really no closer to having all of the answers than they are. Some people just get REAL worked up when they think they have some of those answers. They're overbearing sometimes, and other times down right offensive. But, they're just people..... it has zero bearing on my life. I already know what I believe and no one can threaten that, because it's mine.
