Why I flame.

I'd be grateful for an audience, before judgement

Here in the UK, there's recently been a consistent campaign to 'name and shame' paedophiles. This has inevitably resulted in vigilante attacks on innocent people. This is WRONG

To some people, correctly or not, there is a 'mudcat clique' and some of us feel left out. We don't understand the jokes, we don't feel 'a part' of it.

Out of anger we occasionally write rubbish. We don't mean hurt, but we feel left out, we don't get the jokes, we feel alone.

When, as some contributors do, we are called the worst things that it is possible to be called, what do think our reaction is?

We're not proud, but a bit of understanding would be appreciated...
