Internet runs on TCP/IP, tubes (hehe), and people willing to shell out money because they want to help others. Case and point, this site/forums.
The social constructs that arise from this 'free lunch' can breed some pretty 'stupid' things, like entitlement. I put forth that the Internet doesn't run on stupidity, the LCD of humanity brought their pre-existing stupidity to the Internet.

To a point, I remain neutral on this till someone pisses me off.
Then I contact their ISP (and if I can locate their phone number, their folks) to let them know their little angel is wanking off to Donovan raping little boys.
Frankly, there are just some people you (and I) don't want in here.

You can't consistently give love if your not full to overflowing from love for yourself, and your relationships suffer for it. Whenever people freak out or hurl insults, it implies a deep seated hatred for oneself. The Ego is fragile.
I had to bold and italicize for emphasis. All I'm willing to say at this point in my life is that this is true. I wouldn't say that it implies a deep seated hatred for oneself, as there are other things to consider. One can only give but so much before it becomes destructive (to you and yours), as it takes two for a relationship to work.
