I'm fairly new here and I've seen a lot about GrumpyCat, but mostly just angry rants WITHOUT explanation.
This is the first post I've read with any explanation. And for that, I thank you. Furthermore, your post has clarified for me what everyone else has been upset about. Before now, I haven't been curious to ask. So thanks again!
Cheers! :)
p.s. I am sincerely sorry you fell victim to this monstrosity.
