Reply #3: What strikes me about many of these posters

[okasha]

is that (a) they really don't understand how people react to their comments, which pretty much puts them on the level of the 40-year-olds living in their mothers' basements with only a couple of earwigs for company (or the lonely equivalent; imagine how desperate for approval you'd have to be to "convert" to anything in response to peer pressure on a message board); or (b)they're sick f***s with dominance issues who get off on verbally abusing people they know won't repsond in kind; or (c) they're college sophomores in awe of their own vast intellect and wisdom.

With luck, (c) is curable.
