"In many cases, the recipients are unaware of and/or completely indifferent to the criticism. That's the imaginary fallacy of Internet chat boards, that blathering something here against a person or group while hiding behind a pseudonym has some great meaning beyond a few K bytes of space on a Web site."

Fine. So how does that observation distinguish between YOUR blathering and the blathering of a lesser mortal?

"If I see an insult hurled, I will check what is said against what I know, and may look further to see if it's true"

It is hardly to be hoped that you are capable of always knowing what is "true"...or of always being in the "right"! Your comment is rather revealing though... :-)

"Fact is, most of the people and groups insulted on this board (not the posters but the subject matter) don't know and don't care about the rantings here"

So whatever rantings and insults you may have made are under-appreciated, I presume?
