idiocy

I love going on instructables.com to look at DIY projects. I came across this one where you can use the barrel of a standard pen and the ink of an incredibly nice pen...anyway totally irrelevent. I was reading the comments which went from the article itself to peoples' favourite pens to...well, you'll see. so stupid.

Do you not know that there comes a midnight hour when every one has to throw off his mask? Do you believe that life will always let itself be mocked? Do you think you can slip away a little before midnight in order to avoid this? I have seen men in real life who so long deceived others that at last their true nature could not reveal itself;... In every man there is something which to a certain degree prevents him from becoming perfectly transparent to himself; and this may be the case in so high a degree, he may be so inexplicably woven into relationships of life which extend far beyond himself that he almost cannot reveal himself. But he who cannot reveal himself cannot love, and he who cannot love is the most unhappy man of all
