I attended Catholic grade school, so I was highly trained to diagram sentences. Truly, at least six years of spending an hour each day to diagram sentences. A very sophisticated method of warehousing students, I now realize. The silver lining is that this ground-in urge to create diagrams has spilled over into many other areas of my life.

For instance, I was thinking about those un-curious website commenters [2] who so often frustrate me with their entirely predictable thought processes. How would that thought process look on a diagram? Would it look as simple as it so often sounds?
I opened up Microsoft Publisher and spent 40 minutes concocting the diagram attached to this post. This about sums it up for me. This describes those conversation-killing commenters who so often frustrate those of us who want to be intellectually challenged, not preached to, not yelled at.
Any suggestions for improving this diagram would be appreciated.
