A belated New Year resolution

On Usenet and Web forums, I will not associate with the following kinds of people:

- anyone who used to walk to school every day fifty miles uphill each way while carrying his or her disabled grandmother on his or her back, and now believes that all the problems of the modern world are caused by the fact that the kids nowadays are not forced to do the same,
- anyone who opposed cellular phones because there used to be no cellular phones when they were young,
- anyone who suggests colonoscopy as a pathway towards enlightment,
- anyone who suggests that the other party in the converstaion should either be raped or commit suicide in order to find out what the important things in life really are,
- anyone who believes that the death of thousands of poor brown people in a natural or unnatural disaster in some hot undeveloped country is a good thing because of the resulting population reduction,
- anyone who believes that the death or thousands of rich white people is such a disaster is a good thing just because those people were on vacation while he or she was not,
- anyone who writes the word "whore" with a big "W",
- anyone who is continuously fighting for the rights of the unborn, undead, unconceived and unfucked, much as I can empathize with the latter cause.

Yeah, I know that some of the people I know in real life do some of the above. This is their privilege for knowing me in real life and not being assholes most of the time. Net acquaintances don't get that.
