Are people just batshit crazy?

Or is it the Int0rWeebs that make it so?

Or APPEAR to be so, and really, they're not so bad.




(leaning towards just batshit thanks. Jeebus H on a gas powered - I've seen some pretty obnoxiously crazy shit tonight.)

Oh, people were definitely batshit crazy long before the interweb appeared. That having been said, I think the interweb has made it much more obvious how batshit crazy people are because now the crazy is immortalized on websites, mailing lists, forums, etc. for all the world to see whereas before the internet the crazy could stay hidden longer, creeping out on street corners, in bars, etc. Now, you can be sitting at home relaxing, click on the wrong link or be reading your listmail as someone has a meltdown and suddenly the crazy is right there in your home.

Sometimes, I just have to shut off the computer for a couple of days. That helps.

What crazy bit you and prompted this post?

Buncha little stuff that added up into "DAMN, that's some BATSHIT crazy right there!" I think Friday's are bad since people are winding down at work and have time to engage in drah-mah.

I'm feeling good in the fact that I 1) didn't start it 2) aren't involved in it and 3) have no intention of getting involved.

Just taking mental notes for later. There are more people I need to avoid now. I'm hoping to get away from LJ more, it's clearly full of fail. *grins*
