Purple's ideology is doom, despair, and agony. He's miserable. And if he's miserable, you should better be miserable too. But no matter how comfortable he is in his black cloud (or "spectrum"), I do not have to join him in his rage. That doesn't make me or anyone else complacent, lazy, disinterested, . It may just mean we have a life outside DAL. We may even just be balanced and reasonably content human beings with a different perspective.
BTW, his contribution is always negative. I have much more respect for the worst ALPA or DPA volunteer there is. They at least are doing something. Throwing poo from the computer isn't hard work (even if it is fun).
