Is "Lurking" a breach of ethics? Or just a new way to prove you have a bad case of Stupid?

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

Comon, throw your ethics out the window, everyone else is doing it. Defenestration is where it's at. All seriousness aside though, this is getting ridiculus. Why one earth would you quote someone that you can't see, can't hear, and don't know anything about? It's not about ethics, it's about stupidity. If you're reading this now there are a few things you should know about me. My real name is Jonathan Swells, I'm 37 years old, and I have a thing for middle aged Asian women. Gimme a break. Seriously.

Not only that, but it's ridiculus to get offended because someone might be listening to what you say to other 45 year old bisexual sailors in the "Proud to be Bi Mid-life crisis" chat. If you plan on exposing that much of your personal life to strangers, you deserve to be quoted, or even misquoted by a "lurking" reporter. In fact, if you spend more than 20 minutes a day (or even a year) in a chatroom in order to "meet new people," the least of your problems is that you're gay. You're biggest problem is that you have probably caught the disease that so many "chatters" seem to have these days: Inherent stupidity. If you use the acronym "LOL" more than twice per conversation you should never talk to anyone online ever again. Not only that, but I recommend you remove any chat programs from your computer, reformat your hard drive, and burn your keyboard. America is better off without you. Lurking my ass.
