But I'm pretty sure a message board isn't the best forum for addressing ones issues.

It reminds me of standing around at a party, visiting and debating some topic, when some jerk, unknown to the group, walks right into the middle of the discussion and starts calling names and telling the original participants what is wrong with them and how s/he'll go about "fixing" them. At the least, bad manners, at the worst, it requires some serious "couch time."

If you don't like the discussion and have nothing constructive to contribute, why bother jumping in? Walk past it and go find a group discussing your interests. If you feel the need to call people names and tell them how stupid, bitter or ugly they are, well then, I don't know what to tell you because in most places someone will rearrange your face for doing that in real life. Or maybe join the military. I understand that training new recruits allows one the latitude to verbally abuse "less powerful" people with impunity. Perhaps that's more their style and at least the family dog or cat won't get kicked. Who knows?

Oh well, whatever it is there seem to be a few of them on these boards. I guess the school yard bully has "graduated" to the 'net.
