Not because I have any internet problems (I'm too low key unless my silly youtube videos take off for some weird reason), but I used to work technical support... for cellphones. The things I've heard match the stupidity you've described above, only they were often shouted at me. For example, I would regularly get phonecalls that would start with "My phone gone done tore up" I would ask what the specific problem was, and about 90% of the time I'd be yelled at, with an extreme southern accent "IT GONE DONE TORE UP!" In addition, I would get People with a smug entitlement issue. I CLEARLY owed them a new cellphone out of the box (which due to policies not set by me I had no acess to), because the cellphone was stubborn enough to break when they ran over it with their car. Now I'm not trying to complain any more then you are (I got PAID to deal with those people), but merely to back up your point. Our world is full of selfish people with entitlement issues, and with literacy problems. It doesn't matter if it's on the internet or with the guy who has to deal with them on the phone for their technical issues. I hear you man.

I don't think too many people take much thought into their rants/complaints/arguments that they write into thier emails. It seems to me that they almost seem to just type whatever they feel like, and press send. People don't seem to realize that if they want an answer to something, A). Type so we can read/understand what you want, and B). Type Nicely. That's all we ask! Why is it so hard for most people to do that? Really. At least in a DBZ case, if they use FUNimation names, it only requires a bit more effort into understanding their email. I absoultely agree Mike.
