Rant

A lot gets made about the stupidity of the things people say online.  From time to time, some dumb S.O.B. will even go so far as to cast imprecations on the First Amendment that allows people to fill the web with hateful things in the first place.  I, however, think that we're blessed to live at a point in history where, for the first time ever, the words we've spoken are frozen in place where they're spoken for long enough that the people who've spoken them can outgrow the words, return, and regret them, rather than just forget them.

Forums and threads are beautiful and terrible things, my friends.
