Calmer, but still pissed

I really don't understand why the brain trust cannot seem to figure out the concept of a library. You know, where the books do not belong to you? And therefore you should not be writing in them at all, let alone permanently defacing them with ink?

My pitiful non-Ivy League brain can figure this shit out, so it really can't be that hard to dredge up an ounce of common sense, and, oh, I don't know, some respect for other users and the books themselves.

I realize that there is general wear and tear involved in using actual books and that you may accidentally drop a book or rip a page or spill some coffee, and I acknowledge that I would not have a job were this not the case. But writing in a book? Underlining half the pages? That is a deliberate and conscious maiming of a text, and for that I have no words more appropriate than insults.
