Some time ago, I decided to reduce the unnecessary chatter, by selectively ignoring, on a permanent basis, airheadswho have nothing positive or worthwhile, to contribute. Saves my time, and my temper.

Thus Rush has long ago been consigned to my dustbin. This is the best weapon against lame-brains and bigots - ignore them. If I accidentally miss some truthful witticism, like “it looks like rain”, so be it. Not a huge loss.
