Apologies if this is the wrong place to post but I saw the askKbin thread about hate and trolls that put me in mind of this article. I think it is something we should bear in mind if we want to foster a community free of hate.

Yeah, I agree with the writer's overall point, that some level of moderation is always going to be required, but there is an elitist tone in the article that I don't care for. As someone who first gained home access to the internet at the beginning of the "Eternal September" people like the author are always moaning about, I think it's deeply offensive to write off anyone who wasn't privileged enough back then to have internet access through a university or employer as a "fool".
