Rant on
Yep. Between the drama queens ("the sky is falling" - again? That's three times - today!), the petting zoos/pity parties, and all the LAME folk, I just can't stand it. "waaahh, I had to wait four hours at the hospital to get my finger stitched (because I'm an idiot), don't know why they had to take the three heart attacks first", followed by 47 reply postings about how unfair it is, another 20 talking about all the lazy hospital staff, etc. etc. etc. Sheesh. The only time it was marginally useful this summer was when we had a marauding bear in the neighborhood, and even then it's only useful if people are already interconnected.
As for the LAMEs, they never change. "Look At ME, how wonderful I am" ad nauseam. I really don't care about the 25 pictures of you biking to work this morning. To me, it's just "Look at me, how lonely I am, I have to try and elicit votes on a Facebook page to build up my ego". One friend in particular never fails to ask us when we see him why we don't reply to his postings. He's been doing this for five years. DOH! Per my mother, if you don't have anything nice to say...
rant off.
I'll stay here, thanks. Kudos to the moderators.
