Some Days............
Some days you just have to pitch a bitch. No, I’m not talking about tossing your ex-wife out the window, I’m talking about throwing a tantrum and verbally abusing someone or something.
So, where do I start?
I have yet to comprehend the mentality of some of the posters to bulletin boards. A member will post a question. Sometimes not giving enough information, which is a handicap on developing a proper answer. Generally speaking, they give enough to make a valid assessment of requirements and form an informed reply.
What often burns my rectal regions is the variety of replies often posted in response to the query. More often then not, a respondent will pick out some piece of the puzzle, which fits their own preferences, and makes his response solely to that piece. And a majority of the time, without any other comment other then this is what they like, but never give rhyme nor reason to it. It is as if by weight of their name alone is reason enough for the questioning individual should expend his meager funds.
Sometimes, when the question is posted with a dollar limit, some individuals will ignore the limits to the situation, and all but demand that the individual buy what they use, even if the cost is twice too thrice their budget limitations. In my opinion, this is nothing more then the respondent stating he has more money then consideration of others.
Ever notice how some folks will harp on a subject, even in light of contradicting information. These are the folks Psychotherapists make their money on and Sociologists like to point too as being symptomatic with what is wrong with the world today. Okay, I may have painted that with a really broad brush, but I suspect the reader understands where I’m coming from.
Now, I am well aware that in chat, I am more often then not, going to give an answer to a question that has nothing to do with the initial question. Usually, it is totally ridiculous in form and context. But there it is designed to produce a laugh, although at times it only receives a moan and groan from the peanut gallery.
But, as we all are aware, the written word in a non-live environment, should be precise and informative. Something much of the press seems to have forgotten.
Ever notice that if you try to make a point, one or more individuals will counter with arguments, which if taken as read, seem as if they are talking to a mentally disabled individual. This especially occurs when they are not reading what is written, but what they presume is being written.
And these same folks cannot understand how wars get started.
Ok, enough of this for now. Maybe I’ll tackle some more at a later date.
