Impotent Rage

[WillParkinson]

I was reading this thread:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=102&topic_id=381717

There was a woman named CivilRightsNow who was replying in the thread. She wrote:

I thought long and hard about what my reply was going to be. Finally, I wrote:

And what do I find out from RonnyKMarshall? SHE GOT TOMBSTONED! I'm so frustrated.

Have you ever felt impotent rage? I'm all worked up and now I can't even fire back at her.

Sigh.

Oh, wait....

3. CivilRightsNow was a troll following a strategy

of running up a few hundred posts before they get exposed. There's a lot of 'em running aruond here these days. Its hard to spot 'em early. But they get tombstoned in the end.

So smile real big instead of being mad that the mods did more to Civilrightsnow than you or I ever could have.

4. But there are so many more like her!

So your rage doesn't have to be impotent. I think I know what you're feeling--or at least SOME of what you're feeling. Her smugness pissed me off to the max. I balled my fists, I clenched my teeth, my blood-pressure sky-rocketed, and I gave myself a "time-out" after I read what she wrote. But try to channel your energy ---yes, anger is an energy---towards another equally "worthy" target. There are, alas, so many. To paraphrase Elvis, "You're right, she's wrong, she left." I feel your frustration.
