I do a fair bit of virtual tongue biting.
My pet peeves are the folks elsewhere who elevate paranoia to an art form. Like the folks quite sure Microsoft left back doors in Windows to let the NSA snoop on their PCs.
Clinical paranoia is a defense mechanism. What the paranoid is
really terrified of, on a level they can't consciously admit, is that they don't matter and nobody
cares about them. If you can buy into a paranoid view, hey! You
matter!. You're important enough that someone is
trying to get you.
All I can say to the folks I mentioned is "You
wish you were important enough that anybody could be
bothered to snoop on your PC. Your worst nightmare is true. You
aren't important. You
don't matter. Nobody
cares what you think! Deal with it."
