I had a conversation with a particularly obtuse apologist over email today. The conversation ended when I directed him to consider his opinion in light of this image:

Eager for more
Can you provide any additional context? Sounds like an interesting exchange…
Not very…
It really wasn’t that interesting. I receives some administrative emails as part of my volunteer work for a non-profit (a job which usually requires just an hour or two a month), and received an out-of-the-blue vitriolic email from this individual. I tried to respectfully explain that the people who this person was raving about were not, in fact, me or anybody I knew.
He didn’t take it well 🙂 However, I’d had a friend forward me this picture, and it was extraordinarily appropriate to the situation.
I suspect a substatial percentage of the Internet-using population is mentally ill.
