Thank you, Don!

Cheers, Janet. You know I had a line in there that the editor cut out -- "And I know that this article is just sending more people to watch the video." Haha. Ah well...

That was an excellent essay there. And spot on. Keep up the good work.

Nice article, Chris, and very relevant. Consequently, the line your editor cut is spot on. I did check out the video. It was repugnant indeed but I would never think to comment on in. It's no surprise to me that these people exist and I think hateful Youtube comments are akin to the freak show mentality that accompanies TMZ and reality TV in general. Still, I've been plenty guilty of hating on the Internet in my day. :)

Great article, Chris.

Although that doesn't surprise me based on your contributions to discussions here.

Well done.

Thanks Dan, Gary, James, and Col!

James, TMZ...totally. That stuff makes my skin crawl. And yes, I'm sure we've all had fun hating on people here and there...

Col, a double whammy compliment, cheers! And from deep in the Cambodian jungle, too...

Very nice article.

I think the reason that we like to hate is because we are naturally war-like. We have to be at war with something. Not only do we have to be at war with something, but we must always be justified for that war. It's never because we're simply aggressive animals that don't quite understand how to control ourselves properly yet. It's always the other guy's fault.
