So are porn sites. It doesn't mean children should wander in. Apart from
anything else, 99.9% of the children I've seen on Usenet do nothing but
troll, AOL and write other one line posts, and have hideous posting habits
that they never correct. When I see anyone under 14 that is capable of
communicating on Usenet properly, I will say 'well done, you're the
exception'.

If you are, kudos to you for being an exception. But I think you're lying.

Anyone who thinks part of an argument is insulting people for no reason
whatsoever except to annoy them hasn't had 71 years in human society. And if
you have, then get off this computer. Go outside. Meet these strange people
that you have apparently failed to meet at all despite living 71 years. Then
come back when you've learned how to actually argue something without
looking like an idiot. In other words, come back when you've grown up.
