roach, you've got the idea, you just need to take it to its logical conclusion. restatement after restatement, again and again and again, all on an internet forum. in the end, comrade, it's nothing to get worked up about. there's nothing to get angry about because there's nothing of consequence. it's a pass-time, this forum thing of ours. we're not on capitol hill. our shouts don't ring in the halls of academia. our points aren't published in our nation's (shrinking) publications. our discourse may survive the test of time, but that's a consequence of the medium, not the importance of the content. it's just a forum.
if something impressive or original or interesting happens, great, but it's just a forum. if something horrible or redundant or ignorant happens, oh well, it's just a forum.
