Sometimes I Just Don't Get People

I had and interesting experience yesterday on the trinewbies.com website, a triathlon community and forum that I frequent. Basically, some lady posted about how her husband, a frequent visitor and contributor to the forum, had been cheating on her with "hundreds" of women, and that she knew there were some in the TriNewbies community. She then proceeded to blast the whole community, as well as the sport of triathlon, as the cause of the destruction of her marriage.



All I could think was... "Geez, lady! Get a grip. There are nasty people everywhere. Why blame all of us?"



Anyway... you'd think that'd be the end of it, but no. Some of the morbid freaks on the forum kept after her to name names and tell everyone who the offenders were... It went on all day, and predictably, ended with names named and feeling hurt.



I just don't get why people would do that. Is it morbidly fascinating? Sure. But these are real people, who have real problems that don't need to be aired on the Internet. How cruel can we be?



All right... rant over. Time to go to work.
