They think of it as contact sport.


More like a shark feeding frenzy. When readers smell a fight, the
common instinct seems to be to join the fight by attacking the
weakest. I've posted long and detailed rants that rarely attract any
attention. Yet, when I'm in a hurry and make one small mistake,
someone invariably attacks that one small mistake, and ignores the
rest.

Boring to watch -- nobody ever thinks up a fresh insult.


Well, there are a variety of insult generators available online:

Shakespearean insults perhaps:

I've sometimes posted my comments in rhyme and verse. Is that
sufficiently fresh, or do I need to be more creative? I try to be as
polite and tactful as possible, but sometimes find it necessary to
exchange insults. Instead of the usual name calling, nickname
production, profanity, and insults, I prefer to be subtle, allowing
the reader to visualize how my victim might be insulted were my
comments true. This tends to stimulate the readers imagination and is
far more effective at delivering insults than being crude, blatant,
and obvious.

11AM and I'm only 3 hours late. Stay healthy and safe while I risk
both going to my formerly palatial office.
