: I see that you ran into what I ran into at the Monitor Forum. If you scroll down through it,you will see that there is a definite attitude by a small but vocal group that reinforces and supports each other. I won't name names, but you can see who they are by the type of response and screen names they use. Again by using Source View, you can see that these same people log in under different names, but their message/comments are always the same. There are other ways of finding out exactly who these people are via the internet, but I cannot discuss that here (has to do with security training ). Anyway, I hate to stereotype, but based on attitude, lack of spelling skills and language, these posters appear to belong to the 12-16 old age group ( for some it may be mental )that have a "it's really cool" to have as many macho type lizards as possible. And since they don't get enough attention in real life, they get it here by basically being jerks ( ie: I'm a really tough know it all dude, as long as I have my computer between me and you . And the more discourse, alienation and division they cause online, the more self important and self righteous they feel ( oops, sorry, psych training ). I used to find their bs personally insulting, but now it's only faintly amusing, which is why I rarely post anymore. However, if you ever meet one of them personally, you have my full support in slapping them upside the head - hard. CW
