It is definitely NOT boring. I find it enthralling. It is very similar
to
driving. People who are mild mannered and polite turn into monsters when
you hand them car keys. I guess keyboards do the same thing to some
people.
I have a theory that these people were beaten up a lot in school, and for
good reason. Just my take.
