Parody of Hamlet's soliloquy on the net

User:To friend or not to friend--that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler within the net to suffer
the slights and add's of outrageous fortune
Or to take arms against a sea of trolls
And by opposing feed them. To crash to sleep
No more--and by a sleep to say we end
the Heartache, and the thousand natural shocks
that flesh is heir to. 'Tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To crash, to sleep--
to sleep--perchance to charge: ay, there's the hub,
For in that sleep of discharge what charge may come
When we have shutled off this metal toil,
Must give us pause. There's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life.
For Who would bear the taunts and scorns of trolls,
Th' oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of others, and the spurns
That patient merit of th' unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
with a bare button? Who would users bear,
To rant and rave under a weary web,
But that the dread of something after it,
The undiscovered country, from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,
And thus the native hue of RGB
Is sicklied o'er with broken pixels caught,
And enterprise of web two point ohh
With this regard their stocks turn awry
And lose the name of action.
