"The problem with people online was summed up quite nicely once in the Panny Arcade webcomic:
Normal person + Internet access + Audience + anonymity = Raging a*****e
Thing is, that half, if not more of these twerps, wouldn't have the balls the Gods gave a tetse fly to say any of wht they're saying to you online to your face. They're insignificant little turds clinging to the porcelain toilet bowl of life and they're afraid someone's going to push the handle and they'll be lost in obscurity forever, leaving nothing but a light stain as a sign of their passing.
They want to be big shots, they want to validate themselves *somehow* in life, since they have no way of getting such validation from the people who they know (or who can tolerate them) in real life. They want it SO bad that even validation via negative means becomes an option for them. I find this to be especially true of people who are totally unable to think logically... to present a reasoned, paced and thought out reason of why you suck and make it believable.
Instead, they cling to inconsequential, mindless and inane blatherings regarding what they perceive and how they can twist it up; you don't agree with them, you know they're immature and you call them on it, since pointing out the obvious is easy, therefore, to them, you must:
1) Have no life
2) Be afflicted with "teh ghey"
2) Live with your mommy and daddy
3) Not have a job
4) Be worthless in whatever form
5) Live in a mobile home
6) Be on welfare
The list goes on....
Of course, you notice that none of the above actually have to have any real basis in fact. These wastes of sperm are hoping that their constant repetition of the above will sell itself to whoever they can get to listen. Nothing above requires a shred of proof, but they feel if they say it over and over enough times, it'll sell. Additionally, it will call attention *away* from their total lack of a life, which is obvious from the amount of time and effort they're putting into harassing you. Each and every time, there is a sad little person on the other side of the monitor, patting himself on the back until he/she/it strains a shoulder ligament, thinking that anyone actually cares about what they're doing or saying, when in actual fact, the A.D.D. riddled masses are forgetting all about Joe Schmoe as soon as they step away from their computers or are on to the next "big thing" in the land of Internet drama.
But the real big secret of it, is what they say in fact becomes like a single word repeated over and over; after a certain time, it loses all meaning and sounds like gibberish. Think of it this way, for every single person who is taking what this dipstick is saying anywhere near seriously, there's 1000 people telling themselves what a little grade "A" shitring he's being.
I've seen turds like this before. Many times. I've always had a fine ability to shut them up, then shut them down after years upon years of being online in one form or another.
I tend to take my cat's position on annoyances such as this though: "Ignore it, and it'll go away". You can have some fun though... Bounce the e-mails with a e-mail filter program, rat 'em out to their ISP with complete transcripts of e-mails (complete with full headers), dig around Google for embarassing, idiotic screw ups they've pulled in the past and post 'em up... There's a thousand ways to ******** twerps like this. I used to eat these dinks on alt.flame for 3 years just for fun and walked away from their charred corpses like nothing happened, still hungry... Mmmm, roast dweeb!"
