Every day I have a morning ritual of places I visit on the web before I begin my day. I read a few blogs, I scan the headlines on some news sites, and I always check out what is being discussed on a certain message board. I should tell you that this message board is a blight on my community, and has been since its inception. It amazes me every time I go on it the inaccuracies that are posted there (and there are many). Some of my friends (as well as my boss) have been discussed in very unflattering terms on this board, so I knew that the issue of my library's referendum was bound to come up. Last night (a mere two days before the election) it finally did. To paraphrase my friend Melina, oh the pain! Take a look at what Dew E. Decimal wrote that inspired me to bang my head against my monitor this morning.
