Right, lets turn the internet over to the PC police too.

The beauty of the internet is that you are not in physical proximity with those you are discussing or debating? No one can intimidate you with their size. The good looking dont get more attention. No one knows if you are handicapped, your race, your sex etc.

The internet is all about ideas. We can individually decide to feed trolls or not as it amuses us. We don’t need PC police saying what is ok, because we know how that story ends. It ends with liberal ideas, like say global warming, getting the stamp of approval and conservative ideas, like individual responsibility, being labeled racist or sexist or something.

Ideas originate in people. And people have names and faces in real life.

Internet names (anonymous) and the absence of faces and the impersonal dialogue still doesn’t cover up the fact that behind that curtain is a person and it’s persons who have ideas. Ideas aren’t like light bulbs suspended in the air.

Internet can provide incredible good, but there’s no denying that it can also become a haven for some who are psychologically impaired and/or who conveniently put away the restraint they would use in real life, in real places, with real people.
