well, we've heard of road rage? well wendy et al, this geoffrey chap 
who went on this tangent just engaged in some 'net rage. its the latest
thing. real hip fad eh, all the 'rage' you know.

and a sign of the times, the anonymity and distance yet the
in-your-face aspect all rolled into one. some people just cant handle
all that power to intimidate........

those targetted by his type have no need to reciprocate.

a view which will probably incurr some sort of flame attempt.
