So, The rant I promised.

This stems from my process of thinking through a conversation or a situation a head of time.  Which, likely, stems from my residual social awkwardness.

This is, more or less, the thoughts I was thinking about saying to a person on my facebook.  He apparently was having a hard time with a woman or some such thing.  So he took it out on all women, at least all women he had on his facebook.  Or, as he put it, he "thinks all the women on the planet should go die. Sure, humanity would be [f@#$ed], but at least all the men would be pretty happy all around until we died."

This is the behavior of what the internet calls "Trolls," named after the technique of fishing known as trolling.  Where you put out bait, and slowly propel the boat through areas with fish.  In this case, the bait is the outrageous statement, and the fish are anyone who would give this troll the time of day.  Good or bad.  

He then went on to in his next post try to bring out the Twilight fans by bashing everyone's favorite glittery vampire.  


If he was having trouble, and simply came to facebook saying, "this is what's going on, does anyone have any ideas?"  Or if he came directly to me and asked "Hey, I know you've been in relationships before, how do you get over a woman who hurt you?"  (or what ever his problem was).  I would have been much more open to sympathy.  Instead he takes it out on the good women out there.  That I can't abide.  


But I missed the moment, people moved on, he apologized.  Next time I see it happen though.  Maybe I'll just say what I've been thinking.
