Just to make myself really clear (regarding my intentions {evil or not}), I really do think posting on the internet can put you in the same sort of "bubble" as being in your car. You're in an enclosed space with often no one else in the car with you & you are in your own little world. You forget that people can see you. It's often the same when you are on the net. You're in your bedroom or at your desk in your own little world posting to whatever venue you are at, with whatever attitude you have at the time. I think people forget that the post they made yesterday at "Fred's blog" is still readable the next day, possibly for weeks, months & years after. We aren't used to our communications being permanent. We are used to talking to individuals not groups. We are used to verbal off-the-cuff communications. Before the internet, when we did put something in writing it was generally with a lot of thought in a letter or card and those things went out to individuals, not groups.
