I am ashamed that you and so many others CONTINUALLY have to make posts like this because shit like this happens over and over. I truly appreciate that you do, but damn you'd think we would eventually get it. Stupid breeds and maintains apparently.

Personally, I think snark is the restrained reaction to that bullshit.

I'll check out the link you sent me, though. More information is always a good thing, thanks.
