Summary: Why waste your time?

Seems to me like the 'tedious network debates' only become tedious
because everyone keeps feeding the fire.  Rather than flame, allow the
fools to remain in their unitary glory as fools.  Every flame brings
about a desire in someone, somewhere to retaliate.  Little children are
especially good at this ("am not!" - "are too!" - "am not" ad
infinitum).  As adults, many of us seem to simply make the process more
complex and involved.  We give reasons for our unreasonable
veiwpoints.  Often I find myself suddenly in the midst of a flaming
article.  On to the next!  Eventually the brouhaha settles down and
everyone acts like adults for awhile again.

Seems to me every one of us plays the fool (either inconsiderate or
self righteous or any of the other variations) at one time or another.
