Surely you must find something more useful and less personally distructive to do. If noy, have you ruled out subconscious death wish?

I suspect few folks take internet interactions quite that seriously (even srs) . It seems important that you either strive to "get a grip", on reality-life beyond some predictable Mudcat BS-bs debates, (aka internet interaction), or disconnect. I submit that all participants dont take it all that seriously, beyond the somewhat- anon posting vaneer.
