There's a certain level of anonymity to this medium ...kind of like
words without a face. People think less and type more and feel
distant enough to act irrationally or boldly (stupidity) without
feeling there will be reprocussions. A similar mentality to those who
set bombs in public places that detonate hours later when they (the
perpetrator) are miles away.

I agree with you 100% Shaun. I was offended by that post as well. But I'm
trying really hard to avoid replying to posts that bother me. I'm hoping
that the old saying is true: "Ignore it and it will go away". Sometimes it
works, sometimes it doesn't. It's kind of like Road Rage - I guess we can
call it Cyber Rage.
