Why do we manage to insult what we do not know? Why do we typecast ourselves? On occasions, why do we back ourselves into a corner? Why do we communicate with stangers? As we are acknowledged as civilised, why do we show our ignorance/stupidity? Why do we join forums? ID: 644269 ·

Why do we join forums? We join forums like these because we're too lazy to do what most sensible people would do and walk down dark alleys at night and take a sound beating like normal people. This way it's prolonged, tortuous, and sickenly satisfying. Founder of BOINC team Objectivists. Oh the humanity! Rational people crunching data! I did NOT authorize this belly writing! ID: 644271 ·

I've had a busy day dealing with some lovely customers & unfortunately, had to interupt the work to see to my wife. She had a very bad fit which scared me, so we rushed over to the hospital. Everythings fine now, but on accessing the site, found a pm waiting which, 1: did not understand & 2: found venomous! I don't know that person & on checking my posts, have only applied reasoning & sensility. I think some people live a sad & lonely life & the only way to get their kicks is to try & terrorise others.

Because the abuse here is slightly less irritating than the abuse in the workplace...
