The rants and such will usually run their course and burn out in time.
I know I have to bite my tongue
9well fingers) on forums a lot and even then I can get in and mix it up but I will in a short time also just turn my back on the ranting and move.(must be my age)
To be honest after a post, any post gets past about 5 pages I feel it has pretty much run its course and has gotten just to large to bother with.
What alias, I knew who that was in about 3 seconds of seeing the first "comeback" post.
I didnt even need to verify an I P address.
Kind of like a rabid dog that sadly just needs to be put down.
