Preamble: This is most surely pointless, and boring. I would have posted it in MPSIMS but I intend to swear a bit to vent, thanks for the attention.
I really, really love the internet. This is no sarcasm, its a really handy tool for research, recreation and I met a lot of great people over it. But sometimes, just sometimes I really could do without some of the things you get in the package internet.
No, its not the spam, I am one of the lucky that has e-mail accounts on some private owned, small domains that for now stay spamfree and am careful enough when to give one of them or one of my webmail addresses that can be spammed for all the hell want. Neither is it the spam on instant messengers, its not really hard to hit the ignore button, right?
Its not the porn, warez, illegal mp3s, viruses, trojans, worms, no even when I have to say these things(e.g., viruses etc) have become annoyingly persistent in the last two years or so. Anyone on the web should own and use a virusscanner, especially when accessing some the more illegal contend that is obtainable, if not… hey the internet is one of the zones where the warning labels are off and the problem with idiots takes care of itself (at least in to a certain degree, leave me my little dreams).
No, what really makes me loathe the web is other people. Not even all of them only the assorted few who think once they are on the web, in the safe cover of their computer and handles they could act like they want. Don’t get me wrong, I am all for a persons freedom of speech and expression, another great feat of the internet imo. But that does not, let me spell it out N-O-T cover people acting like pricks. A friend of mine so greatly put it in words, always obey rule #1 “Don’t be a dick”.
I don’t care what the fuck you think to be, sure you could be a 133t haxx0r that can make machines turn into flames with his mind only, that was in the marine corps and won the purple heart in the Falkland wars for personally kicking Josef Stalin’s butt out of Teheran. And surely you know a lot of other spelling deprived, sorry I mean 31337 people who secretly run a world government or so. And when I act against you not only my computer will be haxx0red (le3t even) but you will come and kick my ass and rape my poodle (I don’t have one for the record). Sure you could, but lets face it, chances are that you are just another pimple faced kid sitting in the cellar of his parents in the sour stench of old wanks that feels all important on the internet. So far this isn’t even a real problem, not for me, the problem only starts when you jerk offs harass my friends. I, personally, and many many many of the people I know exactly know what to do with people like you, unfortunately the net is not only crowded by cynics that don’t give a rats ass about your antics. No there are also nice, feeling people out there who tend to care for people, who aren’t yet cynic enough to flame your little crybaby ass into the next century for even trying. These people worry about the projects they have put a lot of work into online, they worry even more when you think it’s cool to threaten and harass them. I don’t really want to have to talk another one of them through the process of filing a complain against you at your abuse@isp. So take a hearty fuck off and die.
There are others of course, the little princess that wants that the whole (online) world revolts around her, because she is so important, really she is and any community she graces with her presence should be eternally thankful or else she will go away and it will all crumble because she is so important. Or the types that know everything better and are entitled to judge for all others what’s right and what’s wrong, especially when it comes to such one answer questions like smoking, planned parenthood or best movie of the last decade. I admit that those are not in the league of the first mentioned pigfucker, but they too make me want to participate in the other internet at times, the one without other people…
(All typoes and grammar errors in the text are intentioned for the finder to keep, it’s just my rant, I don’t say its true, witty or even interesting, YMMV on any of the topics, it’s a free internet, you can heartily disagree with anything.)
