Okay, time for me to vent for a few. I'm not going to (fully) name names, and it seems relatively unlikely that any of the people involved will ever bother reading this journal even if they found out it existed, but frankly, even if they do? This is my ranting. If you're here, you think it is about you, and you care about my opinion, then do something to fix the cause.
( This got really long... )
