I can only imagine what it must be like to go to work every weekday, turn on the computer, and have to look at this crapola. I think by the time Pyro got back from Vegas and returned to work he realized that he needed another vacation.
You know, we may all think we're one big familia here, and maybe in a few ways we are, but just remember, if we're a family we're a frickin' BIG family. Do you people honestly think that any human being can withstand the continuous complaints of over 100+ fellow human beings on a daily basis? Get real! Basically, you're doing the dirty deed, whether you want to believe it, or not. The slow kill, the bleed. Keep it up.
And don't give me any 'it's a business' crap. We're talking about people here, dammit. Like you and me. When I stick a pin in you, you go "Ouch!", right? When I stick a hundred pins in you every day, you'll get real tired from the pain (I know, I have two tattoos - argh).
Remember that for every whine you post here, there's another 40 similar ones out there that same day, so if you really have to whine, then think about that, and act accordingly. Take a step back, understand the situation, and get the facts straight, then if you're still compelled, decide if it's worth posting at this time, or if it should wait until more is known. When you finally do decide to post a whine, keep it as clean as possible, and only state what you know, keeping any assumptions on the shelf.
Just remember, you're writing this to a GD person who's sitting somewhere, buried in other peoples' moans, trying to keep their sanity. And when you've finished that post, feeling pretty good about getting that load off your chest, and take off to deal with the real world, realize that somewhere that post of yours just entered someone elses real world.
We're all just people here, that's all.
And if anyone replies here w/o reading this post through to the end, I'll do my best to slam you so hard, you'll wanna find where I live - argh.
