Specifically, I replied to an offensive and racist joke in net.joke instead of net.joke.d and the only reaction from the people on the net was that I replied in the wrong category!!!! Who cares if racism is propagated throughout the net!?! If this is typical of those who use the net then I really wonder about the demographics of the net users and the usefulness of any INTELLECTUAL interchange on it. So much for ranting...
