Re: Actually, I found an article that suggested that the net, far from being therapy, actually makes people more belligerent :-(

Well, there's a dictum that says "Dogs that bark don't bite".... I think the most dangerous, bellicose people are those who are so filled with hatred and frustration that they can't even "discuss" it and defuse it through open debate.... Usually, it's precisely those "no-nonsense" folks who don't see any good out of talking it over and over who'll reach for their gun to settle it.... If Timothy McVeigh had been a web-addict, he might still be alive today, fighting it out with "strangers" in some political e-forum....
