...on the "internets." A valued one, and an important one, but in the end, just a message board. That's a useful perspective. Also, it will continue to be here after the current annoyance-- whatever that is-- is over.

It's not worth getting your blood pressure up over. Most of us who've been around for a while have had threads locked or deleted. Sooner or later you'll probably get a polite PM from the admins admonishing you to tone it down or risk being banned. It's just part of the ebb and flow of DU.

Take a break if you need it-- my feeling has always been that if it starts to really piss me off, I need a break, because it's just an internet message board. The dishes piled in the sink or the laundry that needs washing is of greater personal import, in the end.
