Yeah, that's the sad part isn't it. It turns out that people are either 
nice or douches in the same proportion as they are in the real world, 
perhaps worse when the threat of violent retribution is removed.

It's not entirely hopeless though, it's quite heartening to see 
progressive campaign groups like 38degrees manage to harness the 
fantastically economical scaling of net based communication and I think 
scrappy indy media networks like TwiT are also a sign of what might be 
but for every one of the good examples there's 100 spammers, 419 
fraudsters and trolls :/
