Dealing With Stupid People [Monday, 2nd period]
Instead of telephones, the students in Josh's workshop would find laptops set up.
And coffee, naturally.
"For some reason, people think that because they're hiding behind a keyboard, they're not accountable for what they say," Josh began, taking a sip from his mug. "That's clearly stupid. There are entire websites devoted to mocking such stupidity--not that I've ever gone to them, of course--and I'm sure those of you more technically minded will help out your fellow students from less advanced civilizations."
Josh clapped his hands together. "Because today, you are starting flamewars."
He gave a brief--well, for him--explanation of flamewars, with tangents about Fox News, the Republican party and the general evil of people who put up websites about Bartlet and can't be bothered to learn how to spell his last name correctly, then let them loose on the internet.
Heaven help 'em.

Re: Talk to the stupid people
