can we get our own shit together enough to stop feeding and encouraging
them

i know, sometimes it's not easy to ascertain if someone is really just

nothing is gained in responding to them

camaraderie generated?

I for one believe a regular mocking of the stupid is good for one's

attention, and that's all they want.
