I don't know what goes through some peoples' minds sometimes...

Fortunately, I didn't get to see what was done to the various 9/11 sigs. I get the impression that they were pretty crude.

I was thinking this morning about the several members of the board who are so adamantly against paying tribute to those killed in the attacks. I dusted off the part of my brain that was used for my Psychology bachelor's degree and thought about why these guys were so opposed to the 9/11 subject matter.

My diagnosis: They're scared.

Last September, they got scared and they've been repressing their fear, anger, and grief. They won't allow themselves to deal with what happened to their countrymen and their neighbours. This repression manifests itself in many ways:

- Comments about the stupidity of Ground Zero tribute coverage on TV
- Trying to destroy images made in tribute to the fallen and their families
- Avoidance of media coverage by "watching the cartoon network".
- General hatred and malice towards those who want to remember and respect the dead.

These guys aren't sociopaths attempting to wreak havoc. They're scared and unable to deal with their own emotions. They're petrified that things like this will happen again, maybe in their own city. Their subconscious is telling them that if they ignore the problem and ignore the results of the problem, it will go away.

Ok, that's all for this session. That'll be $175 please.

As for sig creation, I'm going to have to think about whether or not I want to bother making 'em anymore. If they're going to get hacked all the time, I'm gonna give it up.
