Ephesians and cartoons

Looking through RBC's Our

Daily Bread

, this caught my eye:

Ephesians 4:29-32Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is

helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.  And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.  Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.  Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

Bitterness, rage, anger, brawling, slander, malice, welcome to Usenet.  User Friendly ran a series of cartoons in April and May about who made the strongest coffee, and the secret ingredient in the worst, Sid's insidious syrup, was distilled Usenet

bitterness

.  It was even worse than Piotr's Alien Blood coffee.  Internet

communication seems a lot more volatile than any other form, perhaps a combination of the immediate response of a phone, and the permanency of a

letter.
