One of the notable signs of growing up is coming to the realization that life is not fair. A subset of this realization is deciding that it is not our place to concern ourselves with whether other people have obtained what they deserve. Seek to obtain what you can for yourself, and displace the desire for others' come-uppance from your mind. While I accept the basic precept that entitlement is a delusion, I find myself lamentably incapable of high-fiving those who seem patently undeserving of success. Therefore, the discovery that crude illustrations, gratuitous crude language, and not-terribly-clever humor equates to "massive internet sensation" brushes that very nerve. In short, "what's the big friggin' deal about this???"Then I listened to the D&D podcasts, commented on how the PA guys sounded, and was promptly banned for a week for insulting fellow ENWorlders. I didn't flame them for any postings in these forums mind you (as they don't really post here), just commented on their public appearance the same way one might comment on Tom Cruise for jumping on Oprah's furniture. Although we frequently lambaste public figures for how they behave in public appearances, you should have a care 'lest that public figure should turn out to be an ENWorlder. In that event, they are protected from negative remarks. Tom Cruise should stop trying to abduct Muhammed and simply sign up for a $3/month community supporter account. This did not endear them to me further, I must be honest.</blockquote>
