this has turned into an interesting topic! such great use of colorful language! But don't worry my feelings aren't hurt too much. Thanks for your thoughts though.
I shared this post in a sociology class today. After we wiped the the tears from laughter we had a great talk about how trust develops between people and between groups of people. We also talked about how easy it was for people to show hatred for a person with a "site-nick-name" but so hard for people to see that trust or goodwill can be shared between people only knowing nicknames.
I mean I am nothing but a name on a web site, right? but some of you can be brought to hositle aggression against that nickname. Why don't you think that you could be brought to compassion and trust by only knowing a person's camp name as easily as you turn to anger against a site-name?
