Also: does one eat sarcasm pie the way normal pies are consumed or is it hurled at oneā€™s face? These things are important. ---

That part about ignoring the topic is right on. I find that particularly irritating. Having said that, I now know that I will see more of it. ---

Gnomin, Iā€™m not going to waste much time on you, since this appears to be your tearful goodbye, but hereā€™s a sincere suggestion should you decide to stay: You obviously are not a native English speaker. Try to simplify what you are saying, use more basic terms, and leave out the colorful idioms. Your English skills are good, but you appear to by trying to write at a level of complexity above your current ability, and many of us of are having difficulty understanding you . This is probably why you are seeing the ratings and sarcastic comments. ---

I generally agree with the OP. What kind of person saves up all that negative energy so long that when they finally get to a computer they write pages and pages of profound and inevitibly hypocritical indignation over the most trivial or common matters. Very sad. Next time, do what I do when Iā€™m mad, hit something, preferably with a part of your body so your frustration is turned into physical pain. Physical pain can be easily converted into masochistic pleasure (with conditioning). Or if you have an aversion to physical damage, consider the alternative to this process is more internalized, and relies on an overload of hate in the mind which will lead to a very cathartic breakdown. ---
