Not sure why everyone is so upset
Because it's upsetting. The fact that it has been upsetting for years doesn't make it no longer upsetting.
The attitude that old news shouldn't be upsetting enables upsetting behavior. And, quite frankly, I find that upsetting :-)
Fair, but I'm just saying, we can still catagorize upsetting things as upsetting, even if, personally, we've achieved equanimity with respect to our inability to effect any immediate change.
