h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Five weeks since my last journal entry. There's really very little that draws me to update/contribute much here at the moment. I pop on for a while, go through a few conversations, sometimes read what's on the front page, then sod off again.

I find myself getting slightly bitter, too. To put it bluntly, it seems the quota of stupid in these parts has risen exponentially in the last few months. Not to say that Hootoo should be a nirvana only for those of a certain intellectual standard, because it should rightly be for everyone. But Jesus, can't people at least make an effort? Or is trying to communicate legibly and make sense just too damned hard?

Obviously it is.

And as an aside, if you're going to pipe up with the 'it dusnt mater wot u rite as long as u cn unndersand it' bullshite, you can just fcuk right off right now. You're illiterate, you're stupid, and you can get the hell out of my journal.

Of course there's a certain 'subculture' within Hootoo that's mostly responsible for this. The same shall-not-be-named GuideML abusers' club, as it were, that I mentioned in one of my journal posts.

I'm not looking to abuse anyone in particular. They're probably perfectly lovely people. But fcuk me, these people have the communication skills of a retarded fruitbat. One would have thought that the prevalence of a text-based communication medium would foster literacy, not send it spiralling down into the depths of hades.

Idiots.

heh heh heh.....you're complaining about the same things I went on ranting and raving about a month ago...I thoroughly agree. I feel that there is no point to having a faster form of communication when people are unable to communicate properly.

Hee, I was just thinking about you today, actually. We all need to sort out our Chrimbo meet, whether we're going to have a picnic or just go to the pub or what.

Glad to see you agree with me though. It pains me to get all "Back in my day", but certain aspects of Hootoo have really gone downhill of late, and it's not a nice feeling.

You were feeling my abscence me dear. No fear, I shall be back soon. Much diddling and roaring then.

(Blah)

Sat's coming back. Woohoo!

Well at least someone is happy. I've been online all afternoon and no one has noticed (I am at my Uncle's house)...askh2g2 is dead too.

Yeah. Hootoo's kinda dead, what with Chrimbo and all. That and I think the 'tards are scaring off all the intelligent people...

I didn't say that out loud, did I?

Meh.

Who cares if you did? They're probably too damn stupid to know you're talking about /them/ anyway.

" lol wtf is a tard???!!!!!!!!!11111!!??! "

OMG leik U R soooo FUNNAY!!!lll!!!!1111l1LOLOLOL!

To (mis)quote Dilbert "Stupidity is like nuclear power: It can be used for good or evil - and you don't want to get any on you"

Hmm. That post came out sounding sarkier than was intended...

Woohoo! Someone who thinks like me!
Dilbert's class.
