This is another in the seemingly endless postings relating to the Weiner/Maroney roasts. We get irate, we post flames, we yell at curious posters, we unmercifully rant and rave... Why doesn't someone (The System Administrators that go Ape-Shit, and start pulling posting privileges) take a look at the problems on the Net, and not the symptoms. Okay, we have a problem that is getting out of hand. There are two major parties involved, so we get rid of them, and the problem is gone right!? Afraid not folks, this IS the real world. Not at all unlike the doctor that cures running noses by cutting them off. As intelligent human beings (with the exception of a few out there) we should learn from our mistakes, but we sometimes don't. Every day that I am on the Net, and I'm reading postings from Arkansas, Colorado, New York, etc., I am overwhelmed by the interaction of people that have never even met, or for that matter never will. Why is it that we can't make the best of a situation? It was a hot-one for a while there. But then on the other hand... When will our legal systems be perfect? When will the real guilty people pay for their sins to society? Why are we so impudent, to drag innocent bystanders into our own skirmishes? But then, what is alt.flame for? F*ck it! You can't win.
