I snicker.

It's incredible to me that of the hundreds of frequent, everyday posters we have in the Road and General forums, that there are just a few who have a problem with treating fellow posters with respect and find this thread objectionable. Imagine, just IMAGINE someone suggesting we should be nice to our fellow posters. The unmitigated GALL!!!

Why is that? Why just a predictable few? How does that quote go -- "He doth protest too much"?

I've said it before and I'll say it once more . . . don't worry about whether a post is "meaningful and intelligent" by your standards. That's your personal opinion. The real challenge is whether you can control your instincts to be a moth drawn to a flame. When you find a thread or a post with posts that don't meet your personal criteria, ignore them and go find a thread you like better. Mind your business. Keep your nose clean and stay out of trouble. Resist the urge to be an internet bully, because we don't like bullies. Let that "misguided, ignorant and uninformed" poster stew in his own misfortune. Celebrate your superiority. Let his posts wither on the vine because nobody responds, if it's that unintelligent. Just go away and mind your business, everybody in the world can't be as smart and savy as you.
