Hiding the stupid

[monkeybard]

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.
