Cruising the blogosphere today, I came across a blog. Bad grammar, bad spelling, bad writing all around. I won’t link to it because frankly, it doesn’t even deserve a rel=”nofollow” link.
The bad grammar, spelling, or writing wasn’t what got me. 90% of the posts on the site were angry rants for no good reason. That’s what got me.
A blogger randomly calling a person he’d never met or heard of or even dealt with prior, an *******. That was the general gist of each of the blog entries.
It got me thinking, what made this person so angry at the world at large? It’s an anonymous blog with no contact information or back story, so I can only assume he’s angry for no reason.
And his commenters? All just as angry and hateful as him for no apparent reason. But, every comment was a “yes” man type of comment. No variance what so ever. Like they were some type of cult following or something.
The one comment that went against his views was descended upon by the blog owner and other commenters like a flock of hungry vultures picking apart a long dead carcass (no wonder no one offers any other viewpoints there).
A psychiatrist may say that they’re just insecure and feeling inadequate, so they feel compelled to complain and degrade others to make themselves feel better. And I won’t lie, that’s exactly what it seems like to me.
Dear readers, if I should ever become that angry (yes, I know I have the occassional angry post, but they’re generally warranted), please shake me violently until I come to my senses.
