I have to remind myself that people sometimes just need something to get up in arms about and TV is easier to get upset about because it's not ACTUALLY as upsetting as stuff in the real world.
Yeah. I have been noticing this more and my tolerance for it is... less than what it used to be. I'm starting to actually call people on it, which gets me a mixed bag of reactions, most of them not so good. I don't even care anymore. It's fucking stupid. If you have reasons to go whole-hog into internet insanity, well, I can't really complain (and there's one person on my flist, in a different show, for who that applies; she needs an outlet to be unhappy about since she's Stiff Upper Lipping life, and you can't really say anything to that, you know?). But most people? Don't. They just don't, no matter how they rationalize it.
I keep waiting for Joss to insert the funny. I miss Joss' witty turn of phrase and how he could slide through some really depressing events with a laugh.
