I guess some of the posts there, if I look at it in a distanced way (trying not to get irritated) make me sad for certain posters. I mean, think what life must be like if you're the kind of person who spends hours upon hours asking for determinations, arguing fairness, and quibbling about the meaning or interpretation of a single word. It must be tiring. The people who do this don't get happiness, mutual support, or love from anyone here. Maybe they derive some kind of pleasure from being nit-picky; maybe they go on some kind of power-trip from "forcing" Dr. Bob or the deputies to respond to them, over and over and over and over and over and over (etc) again.
But to me, it's just sad. It seems to ME that such a person must not be happy in their "real" life, must not have a lot of friends, must be combative or argumentative or withdrawn.
So even though they still irritate me a lot when I read their posts (even though they've never posted to me!) -- I try to think of it from this other angle.
I don't know if that helps. Do you agree with me at all?
