Excellent bit of reflective writing and I&#x27;m certainly in agreement. For a moment I thought this might be the basic gist of an article I&#x27;m working up (re: message boards vs. article&#x2F;content comments and notions of &quot;community&quot;) but glad to see it&#x27;s a different angle, and complimentary. Guiding over to Pinker&#x27;s article is an immense help as well, because I&#x27;m really digging the term &quot;intellectually unscrupulous&quot; as a nice description of some behaviors I&#x27;ve seen online that are maddening.
