Decent piece. I delved deeper into a piece entitled "why we should all feel sorry for Bob". It was nicely written by a friend of Bobs. But, I simply cant get over are the awful, spiteful, inhuman comments made by people in the comments section.
Makes me wonder sometimes what makes some people tick.

The vast majority of people on the Comments board are ordinary, reasonably law abiding people. The supposed anonymity on these boards produces an extraordinary provocative response from some of them safe in the knowledge legal redress is virtually unheard of. Identifiable, and face to face, with sanctions very likely, their responses would be much more diplomatic but you'd still likely get their general drift.
A very small minority are probably criminally minded, unpleasant, even evil in some cases, people but that's just like the real world. A myriad of circumstances and choices brings you to the point of being who you are today.
