It’s a sick place, and its sickness makes me sad. It makes me wonder how much malice is hiding beneath the surface of the people I deal with every day, and just how deep it goes. Certainly none of you bring this kind of energy to your interactions IRL. Why not process the malice in some more productive way? So many of you seem to glory in it. How is that helping you in the long run? What is it accomplishing?
