I looked in there briefly - it's worse than this place!
Yes, there are occasional - *issues*. Oddly, it has some of the same
distinctive features as this one: some genuine mental health issues,
oddball non-UK-based contributors with bees in their bonnets, harmless
monomaniacs.....

Seems to be a *feature* of 'technical' groups.

But it is all harmless. When all the posts are read, nobody is hurt,
no bones are broken. And it is a certainty that if the protagonists
met face to face in a social setting everyone would behave as normal
civilized people. This is just a little fantasy world where we can
pretend that any of it actually matters.

We can play Pommy bashing, Yank bashing, techno nerd, Luddite,
patriarch to our hearts' content. Even more fun, we can switch between
them when the mood takes us.
