    This is one of those reasons why I really don’t mind the Web 2.0 Walled Garden to some degree.

    LinkedIn makes the wall very high, and the people inside the wall are mostly insane like this. That’s not a walled garden, that’s an asylum.

    In Buddhism, we would call it the realm of hungry ghosts, lower than the animal realm (as in base, animalistic desires) and one step above the hell realm. A realm of self-imposed suffering where people can’t do anything of merit to burn off karma.

    And people like this don’t want to leave at all. It’s killing them, and they are deluded into “loving” it. Let them stay there. I don’t want their illness anywhere I normally enjoy life.
