    Dumbing Down

    >If we think of the internet as having a "personality" or
    >"character"... is it changing over time? Or
    >becoming more multifaceted? Is it a reflection of the
    >mind or "personality" of the global community?

    Don't they produce t.v. commercials to appeal to the mind
    of the average 13 year old or something like that? I
    remember the good old days, when flaming was rare
    online. It's being accessed by more people -- and more
    stupid people who couldn't care less about other people.
    The web's part of THEIR computer. It's like they've got
    a fun new game on their computer. We're all part of
    Joe Six Pack's new computer.
    Joe: In keeping with Doug's request: You're a disgrace.
    Join a twelve-step program. Read some good books. Quit being
    so boorish. And get that bridge for the front.

    I think we should be able to get ISPs to pull the plug on
    stupid people.
