Case in point - rick here, comes out to use words like psychotic and sick. rick indicates he doesn't like me. So he reacts but he doesn't challenge his or my assumptions. Why? Because my comments threaten him in the sense that they make him uncomfortable. But why do they make him "uncomfortable." Why does challenging assumptions cause discomfort? Here's an assumption. rick is losing money. That is what is causing discomfort. Challenges to assumptions don't cause discomfort in an environment that is open and not ignorant. Look it up rick before you call names.

What better example is there of the Net's downside?

A twitchy malcontent - who 10 years ago would be reduced to sniveling on the street corner, passing out leaflets - is elevated to some perverse parity with serious researchers.

These days, any psychopath out on medicated work release need not wander the streets in search of adversaries. He just finds a public library with Internet access.
