Because, as happens so many times with these discussions, facts and 
subjects stray from their original intentions, then get taken out of 
their original contexts. And yes, we should perhaps not even be treading 
upon some of this, here where the spinning disk meets the needle and the 
pleasure should remain there.

I just pieced the entire conversation back together, where we began 
talking about Sinatra and Sikhs and burnt churches. Like the Sikhs and 
the Amish, and like people who have been wronged everywhere, we should 
not dwell on the revenge and the hate, but return to our productive ways 
as soon as possible. I find this the most superhuman act and the most 
obvious sign that there is a power greater than ours at work amongst us 
if only we subscribe to its presence.

Should we chalk it up to a little "keyboard rage", as in "road rage", 
and get back to our regularly scheduled program?

We should all remember that words on the internet can cause problems 
because they are so easily separated from their original purpose.
