Inside everyone is a person who argues. Some keep that person under lock and key, some let them out to play, and some slip through the door cracks and are always present.

Arguing on the Internet is like two drivers racing their cars to see who crashes into the wall first; no one wins.

I used to do it but realized you both end up looking like fools. When the newsgroups were active and free in the mid-90’s, some asshole nicknamed DavidLetterman posted I was really a guy in Wyoming. Some believed it but I’d tell them to visit my sites, call me and tell me my voice isn’t female and my accent isn’t thick Bostonian. I’d argue relentlessly as it could affect my business.

Research and a hacker friend found his real name and location. I simply sent him email, revealing what I knew, and reminded him that the Internet can be dangerous. Nicely, of course. ;)

He called, apologized, said he was mad I’d not meet him, and promised to quit posting. Never saw another Pam=man post again.

But I really hated arguing and didn’t like myself much after reading the posts. Years later I had an alter ego nickname who posted in IRC channels by bashing pedos, insecure swingers, password traders and gay-bashing participants. Was fun especially when a kid hacker friend would get into a T1 and nuke the hell out of people via tens of thousands of bots.

Message was “Making fun of people isn’t nice. Payback’s a bitch and now you’re MY bitch!” 25,000 bots would hit their IP address and knock them off their 56k modem!

It was easier than arguing, teaching or k-lining.

Sadly, the kid took out all of AT&T East and got caught at 17 and ended up in juvenile detention until 21. He was banned from internet usage for ten years. Very smart kid who wasted his talent over his weight. He was fat, made fun of constantly, and got revenge by nuking people offline.
