The internet is a social medium different than normal ones.
I don't act the same whether I'm in a wedding, a funeral or a business meeting. I also don't act the same when I'm in an internet forum or in real life. In your post, there is the veiled accusation that this is hypocritical. Quite the contrary, it's just the expression of a varied social life. ...[text shortened]... ng with that.
Now crawl back to your private forums and your illusion of superiority.
You've already punched holes in your rebuttal.

Manoy of us who came in here and were repulsed by this place didn't really understand it. perhaps we were too old.
Having wrestled with my own conscience trying to come to grips with this version of virtual reality I have formulated my own insightful thesis that seeks to explain the excesses of this and other forums. Here it is reproduced for your ...[text shortened]... e your gender if you like.
ANYTHING that is, but yourself.

Frank Burns, why don't you just let whatever bugs you about their "ilk" rest. Let sleeping dogs lie. It is no use to argue on the internet in this fashion... that's what the debate forum is for.
Never throw stones if you live in a glass house!

And yet you continue to hang around like a bad smell.

If you think that you wrestling/playing with yourself is enjoyable for us, think again.
Many users spend a lot of time on the internet...some of that playing violent war and shoot 'em games. During those games they can actually talk to each other and say things like "Die You Motha"
Now it is important to realize that it isn't the player saying "Die You Motha" and shooting small children in the street, it is the character the player has created.
So what game do you play and how many people have you "killed" today?
Now let's create a mythical person as an example. We'll call him John Doe. John lives in Durbin where he works as an under-assistant accountant at a small accounting firm. John is divorced and not to happy with his life. He wants to be a Rock Star. So he spends all of his time playing "Guitar Hero" and "Rock Band" where he is the lead guitarist of hugely successful virtual band called "Disorderly Conduct"
It is important to remember again that it isn't John fronting this imaginary band it's his Character "Ironrod Chickmagnet" who is fronting the band.
aka Red Knight and the TSM
And that is it in a nutshell. The internet allows you be anything you dream of being. You can be a black pimp, a rock star, an internet tough guy, or a Chess Grandmaster. You can even change your gender if you like.
Just as well for you then, just remember, however, that your mummy has a keystoke logger programme in place and knows everything you write. Your computer privileges may be restricted again.
