How long have you been on the 'net then?
Nothing enforces the truth of anyones posting on the 'net.

Possibly - who can tell?

The issue is as real to you as you want to make it.

True.

Well, I think that most people assume that about 50% plusd of what appears on
the net is seriously biased and posted by people with Missions of one sort or
another.
Usually these people have a detectable sexist/political/racist/or religious
bias.
(or just about any other ist)
Beating 'em up can be fun: Also the reverse. Its a game to see how much flame
you can get by telling alt.vegetarian's that you are a cannibal etc.
Internet is free press par excellence and it attracts all the soapbox stars
If it bothers you, ignore it and it will go away. Or if you want to engage the
poster in a dialogue that's within your power too. Make up your own mind!
All the rest of us can offer is our personal opinion....;-)
