A Germ Theory for the Internet

Well it attempts to be a nice parable ... except they overlooked in 2008 or so, in language to fit their parable, a move to remove a lot of sewage sanitisers was enacted, much IMO for the benefit of Facebook, and ignoring the lessons learned in the 90s in regard to TMI (too much information.) Facts will out, but if it has to be that a person had to publish their real name to do so in a flame war situation, to be fully liable ... less so, especially if they know someone who's suddenly had real life bad sideways reaction that has more cost (mentally) than being on the net. 2008 or so, marked a time when many forums dedicated to annoying other people when they said trite or similar, few found a safe harbour to move their site to and most shut down.
