Orion,
Agreed.
Whining, bellyaching, smart-alecking, name-calling, profaning, baiting,
arguing, patronizing, and just general stupidity.
Little eloquence. Little organized and gentle nudging of our friend to
point out possible error. Much complaint about profit, corporations, and
secondary markets. Way too many personal insults.
With much respect to CFOLs out there, I've seen more childishness over this
'issue' than I would have ever expected from this community. It's good to be
childlike, but being childish stinks. One can't seriously expect a company's
representative to read something like 'I want your product MY way, you freaking
jerk' and then even consider responding to it, can one? Did anyone here not
understand the point made by Willy Wonka?
Selfishness this all is, yes? Arrogance, hmmm? This the true path is not.
The way to Darkness this is. Creativity...community...polite manners...these
things all we must learn if strong in the Brick we are to be.
Peace and Long Life,
Tw0nst3r
