This is why you must embrace the awe-inspiring power of the delete key. With
the delete key you can remove any offensive post, ignore the most vile
responses, and thumb your nose at the morons of the universe. Delete is truly a
remarkable technology. One that can bring you the kind of inner peace you've
always dreamed of one day having.
But! Be wary of cheap imitations. Some people will take great pains to TELL you
how they're deleting messages. But you know, they're really not. They secretly
enjoy reading those offensive posts. It gives them a thrill. A thrill that all
too often turns to guilt and then some kind of insipid over-analysis.
Be smart, shop S-Mart, and delete those offensive posts.
Now, get the hell back to work! :-)
