Hello Grumpy Ole Man(.com) .
My Story
I see many news stories that, in this day of interactive web-sites, may warrant, if not beg, some degree of opinion or discussion.
I once made what I thought was a rather innocuous response to a comment the ‘poster’ made about gun laws after another school massacre in the U.S.
As my comment was mostly in agreement I was a little surprised to see a vitriolic volley of stinging personal remarks posted in return.
Even though aware of all the nastiness that can, and does seem to thrive in these environments, it came as a bit of a shock. I stopped making comments, completely.
So… As I have been involved in producing websites for more than 20 years I decided that in order to not take these retorts personally I would make my persona impersonal.

Politics
The intransigence of opposing political parties without apparent realisation that they are there to do a ‘grown up job’ of negotiating and wherever and whenever possible arrive at some sort of consensus over issues in a grown up manner.
