Thank you Charlyne Yi your thoughtful post on the internet (see below). I think many unhappy (and seemingly happy) people treat the online world as an emotional dumpster for their problems, not realizing there are real people out there with feelings that can be hurt.

The trick online, I believe, is to see through the relentless river of bit sludge for the worthwhile gems of wisdom, value, and enlightenment. That’s what I try to do.
