monkeybard | Hiding the stupid (Reply)

Sometimes the internet makes me angry. Not in and of itself, of coure. It is, after all, nothing but a neutral mechanism. It has no control over the metric buttloads of bullshit people pour out into it. Yes, there is shiny goodness out there, too. And as a rule I try to stick to that stuff because, frankly, I don't want to read other people's bullshit opinions/beliefs/hatefulness. Sometimes it's unavoidable. An off-putting post on someone's facebook page, for example, like the one I just ran across. I have now hidden that person. He's not a close friend or anything, and until now I hadn't realised he was stupid in that particular way. So "hide" it is and pretty soon I'll forget he's even there.
