watching another thread unravel,
as people treat these screens as walls -
throwing gelatinous napalm to see what sticks?

I am not pure and I am detached...
So easy to start a war
With words wanton and unwise.

Having worked in an inbound call center,
I can attest that phones are not much better...

Off on a divergent tangent,
Making assumptions on physique or speech
That lead some minds to debasing slurs -
Another simple screen, yes -
That's got deadly hidden roots
In simplifying the complex.
