Everyone on the internet is a douche, to some extent.
I'm just trying to understand the 'internet war' culture. I have a hard enough time understanding realtime people. Why do you do it? Simple disagreements? Is it fun? It just seems that people are seeking strife by participating. I just want to understand the mindset. From the outside, most people (real and virtual) seem to fall into the same categories of what they rail against, using the same tactics as their enemies, all the while crying foul at instigation and/or reciprocation. It seems to me a purely manufactured drama, where people who would likely be quite cordial to one another in realtime, if not downright friendly, treat each other as would etherial electronic cavemen. Is it the natural human desire to have the last word, coupled with the lack of realistic threat of a punch to the face?
Why don't people pay for philosophy anymore? I should start charging...
