And oh, that is what killed chat and screwed up internet dating... People learn to distrust people sitting behind keyboards =) The Web seems to bring out the worst in some humans simply because they can remain anonymous.

You'd know it if I was annoyed at something you've written. And you've always made good informative comments. Absolutely most are civil on here. But a few cowards hide behind the anonymity and hurl insults. I just get tired of it sometimes. No I dig sarcasm. You’d know it if I was annoyed at something you’ve written.

Ah, forgive me for being a bit clueless, (not trying to be rude or negative either) but is there really a preponderance of evidence that people on this blog have side stepped civility? If that were the case I would not even waste my time visiting here. Most of the products you have reviewed or Guburu's you have "let the fur fly" about - I find refreshing. Even the off topic commentary is well done. I have avoided buying certain products because more often then not - my thoughts about a product or service are "simpatico" with yours (I hope that doesn't scare you! lol). Other the occasional post that might contain words that border on the slightly negative side of the isle in terms of IM methods and practices, have you really been getting hammered by the "nattering nabobs of negativity?" Like I said, I must be totally naive or this portion of the Splork show has really flew by me with the speed of an SR-71 Blackbird... But, at least through my eyes, most folks that stop by your posts tend to be "splork" friendly with the majority of comments, if not all, being mostly "positive pontifications". I really can't understand why people would be hyper critical toward you. Unless of course it was a Guburu who's latest wiz-bang product you might have disapproved of. They could send some of their "trolls" to post some less then flattering comments. But, you sound pretty "fired up" here - so it must be pretty bad - or deeply personal. All, I can say Splork is that I do tend to board the "sarcastic train" from time to time. So, let me offer my humble apologies if I have offended thee "with any of my many pointless point of view" when commenting on this blog. (LOL!).. Esse Quam Videri "To be, rather than to seem to be."

If I approve your comment, assuming Akismet hasn't eaten it, then of course it's fine. If you think my post is off the rails. Talk about it. If you think what I'm doing is stupid, tell me why. Every comment is a potential for someone, somewhere, to maybe learn something or think about something in a different way. But to suggest I should just kill myself because of what you perceive as my ineptitude or similar then, really, don't bother visiting.

If you knew me offline you'd think I was one of the most sarcastic dudes you knew. And again the criticism is fine. I don't mind getting called out on a bad play. But as we all know there is a difference in personal attacks and insults versus criticism.

I'm a pretty sarcastic person and I guess that just doesn't translate well online. Your blog really is a refreshing bit of honesty in a blogosphere full of IMers that just keep pushing that content, links, and more links = $$$ and success. You have a great site here. Just keep doing your thing and know you have more than just 4 or 5 supporters.
