It's called Reddit syndrome: rudeness and trolling about atheism, 'rights', and Ron Paul. They think that because one _can_ be anonymous on the Internet, that means that cursing and general nasty behaviour is perfectly acceptable and anyone who thinks otherwise needs to be welcomed to 'the internet'. Their usual excuse is some concept that they call 'free speech' in the misconception that 'free speech' means that they can say whatever they want. I wish that they could be confined to Reddit but just like the drones who leaked out from Myspace and then grew up, and the AOLers before them, there is hope that as they age the Reddit group will mature. Until then, a killfile is usually enough to keep them out of my little corner of the internet, so long as no one feeds the trolls and replies to them. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il א-ב-ג-ד-ה-ו-ז-ח-ט-י-ך-כ-ל-ם-מ-ן-נ-ס-ע-ף-פ-ץ-צ-ק-ר-ש-ת ا-ب-ت-ث-ج-ح-خ-د-ذ-ر-ز-س-ش-ص-ض-ط-ظ-ع-غ-ف-ق-ك-ل-م-ن-ه-و-ي А-Б-В-Г-Д-Е-Ё-Ж-З-И-Й-К-Л-М-Н-О-П-Р-С-Т-У-Ф-Х-Ц-Ч-Ш-Щ-Ъ-Ы-Ь-Э-Ю-Я а-б-в-г-д-е-ё-ж-з-и-й-к-л-м-н-о-п-р-с-т-у-ф-х-ц-ч-ш-щ-ъ-ы-ь-э-ю-я ä-ö-ü-ß-Ä-Ö-Ü
