We've all seen these people. We know they exist and carry on saying stuff like that. The old grandads and uncles who used to mutter these things, often harmlessly or even comically...the internet has brought them together and compounded the problem. Misery loves company.
Can there be hope for improvement? I think these people would have to understand what they're doing to themselves first, but they seem to prefer things this way. We need some sort of social media rehab or crotchety curmudgeon awareness.
