(96,901 posts)that should have never been alerted on, much less received a hide. And that sucks, people. For something to be alerted on and hidden for no good cause other than dislike of the poster being alerted on, or because some low radar troll happens to get a jury summons and enjoys handing out hides.
So I switch back to willing to serve only to receive alerts that read like a made-for-TV mini-series from a thread filled with little more than tits for tats from people who obviously have a long history of attacking each other. Alerts that expect everyone to know the missing backstory or worse, the ones that attempt to fill in the backstory with multiple links that really serve no other purpose than to drive home just how fucking stupid the current alert is because it, too was born from the same tit for tat, backbiting hypocrisy as the supporting links.
Wow. That felt good. Thank you!
Maybe I should go back to being unwilling to serve until my frame of mind improves.
