The Web is the birthplace of "flamers" and "trolls," people who launch no-holds-barred attacks on others with opposing views.
Shows how much this guy knows. These terms AND the corresponding behaviors were around on USENET before anyone had heard of the World Wide Web. (And he has the definition of a troll wrong.)

Good call. Probably thinks there's no difference between the Internet and the WWW, and also probably has no clue about Usenet. Or Gopher. ;-)
