[QUOTE="Henry, post: 3483870, member: 158"] One thought did occur to me, thinking about the anger that some people have displayed: Consider current events right now, and consider personal issues in real life that bleed over into messageboard conversations. The outrage expressed in something as seemingly small as a magazine cancellation could be a side effect of other issues, not a cause. Giving an example: Years ago, the bottom fell out of my car (engine restraining bolts) as I was driving on the Interstate. 70mph, and I lose control and fortunately slide to a halt on the roadside. I get out of my car, and the cell phone has no reception. So I begin to walk to the nearest exit. A thunderstorm breaks out, soaking me to the bone. I made it to a truck stop and called for two hours to reach my wife. When I came home, my toilet backs up on the first flush. I REALLY ranted and raved like a sailor for about an hour over that damned toilet. :D While some responses are totally unwarranted, not understanding why someone rails against something seemingly innocent is not the same as them having nothing to rail about.
