However, I will never understand how a few assh*les talking on the internet can have such a profound impact on the general health of of people. We are NOT that important or profound enough to generate that kind of reaction.

Maybe I'm not being sensitive enough but the people who need to take breaks from this place I feel need to take breaks from the internet in general and use this place as an excuse.

EDIT: The "never" above shouldn't really be there but I'll leave it in. WWWP mentioned below something I didn't really think of.
