4. Ain't gonna happen

18. I agree, Writer.
I get really tired of it. Only a very immature person would use the anonymity of the internet to act like an asshole.

19. I disagree - I see it as more of a punctuated equilibrium rather than a constant trend
I.e., we stick with a nice proven way of being complete jerks for a period of time, until a shiny new way comes along and there's a shift...
