Well thanks for making me feel shitty as well. I don't even have to read the story. And I actually won't read the story.

Sorry. I felt so shocked after reading this, that I couldn't keep it to myself

And there I was, happy as could be. Today was a good day, I thought. All my plans went accordingly, my goals were achieved, and everything was generally going my way. Couldn't have been happier.
Then I read about a puppy getting kicked to death in a park.

Again, sorry

And just when I think things couldn't get worse, GBM beats me to the punchline and forces me to double post.
But at least Azaran saved me some dignity.

I know, I'm the same way. But this is one of the things that probably makes me actually homicidal when I think too much about it, and I'm trying to cut back.
Trouble is that then I start accusing myself of "ignore it and it won't be there" and then I think well maybe a
little homicide wouldn't be
too unjustifiable but then I remember that my wife's a lawyer and has to worry about ethical conduct and professionalism and some other big words and so I put the lock back on the cage and go back to something happy.

"And to be fair," GBM said, blithely double-posting, "We did click on a thread entitled Puppy kicked to death in park. Not much in the way of ambiguity there, is there? I mean, what were we expecting?"
He then pressed "Submit Reply" and hoped no one had posted before him, else he would have to edit the "blithely, double-posting" bit and thereby prevent any hope of mitigating Renzatic's shame with an I'M SPARTACUS TOO thing or whatever.
Then he realised he hadn't pressed Submit Reply yet and worried that the extra typing was going to bugger it all up regardless.
He clicked fast, panic-stricken, determined to get in before
NO! He'd tricked himself again! WHAT WITCHCRAFT WAS THIS? WHO IS THE PUPPETMASTER? I DEMAN

Phew! He breathed a sigh of relief. Everything had worked out in the end. Except for the bit about the puppy, but he had decided to try to forget about that. Safer that way.
