Oh I absolutely agree... I have had it happen too... Of course, I rarely get into actual flame wars. But if I disagree, I am much more likely to seriously consider their point of view if I know them from here.

I have said... Hey - That is a hobbit, not just a crazy person! - What got him so ticked off?

We should be tempered all the time of course, but the social threads do help to personalize the relationships. It creates a peer group instead of a bunch of individuals, a peer group that will have to answer to each other for things we say, because we are not so anonymous anymore. And that is a good thing!

THAT'S IT! That is what I have been trying to clumsily get across. Thanks HOTD.

I agree, it is a good thing.

BTW, did you notice if they played the TT trailer during the MTV awards?
