Online Personas

I've got a bone to pick!  Why do people feel the need to make snarky asinine comments then hide behind their computer screens?  Would they really say that to someones face?  Doubtful, because they'd get their asses kicked, or get a swift punch in the face.  So why do they feel that anonymity gives them the god-given right to say it online?

Sometimes humanity disappoints me.  For instance, today I read a really nice article about a friend of a friend who did a really great thing and what do I read in the comments below the article??  This: "Jeez this a long story about some yuppies geting free coffee.just send me the money, i drink at least 60 bucks worth of coffee evrey day ! "  Come on people!  Really?!  You have nothing better to do with your day then to louse up something so nice?  If you've got that much time the least you could do would be to spell things correctly, and use punctuation appropriately!

It shakes my faith in the world that we're living in that there are these kinds of cowardly jerks out there who can't just man up and keep their lips zipped, or their fingers away from the keyboard.

Along a similar vein, another act of anonymous aggression is driving.  You know who I'm talking about: that jerk who decides that he can't just wait in the long line of cars all turning the same direction; no, he decides to race ahead and cut someone off; causing the line to go slower, which causes more jerks to race ahead and cut someone off.  It's a vicious cycle, STOP THE MADNESS!!!  I liken it to this: would you do that at the post office?  Would you cut in line because you felt impatient?  Hell no, you wouldn't!  Someone would pull out a gun and blow your face clean off!  So chill, peeps!  Just because you're in the drivers seat, doesn't give you the right to line jump!

Gah!  People annoy me!
