Thank you. The more I wrote about it, the better I liked it, too. We can learn from the car venue. For example:

1. If you have an angry accident, stay in your car.
2. If you drive a sub-compact, stay off the freeway at rush hour.
3. If you feel compelled to yell at another driver, confine your comments to the person's driving or his vehicle and leave his mother, his kids, and his job out of it.

Another somewhat similar example might
be the behavior of "good citizens" who get caught up in a lynch mob.

I do think that in the SI venue, some of that behavior happens. Posters get caught up in a mob like mentality and do things they would never do in 3D -- another instance of the disconnect between SI and 3D.
