Good point fuzz.
I believe the effects are a lot more profound than they seem to be.
eg: the net has opened up world wide instant comms between anyone and everyone 24/7/365. (except Sundays - closed for maintenance).
The young ones are predominantly driving this change. Opening up (anonymously - something which was a huge catalyst) about everything and anything.
Injustices, abortion, sexual orientation, porn, suicide, religion, etc
I think an equilibrium with less extremes is the end result as people in general become more tolerant of the rest of the world which they can clearly see and realise where their thinking stands relative to the new norm. The internet is making us more tolerant, mature quicker, become smarter and MUCH better and faster gossipers! hehe
If an old bastard like me can learn so much from just one forum, for the world, amplify that by onety twoty twenty kabillion!

Just saying in case that's what you were doing it. I know some OPs use this practice sometimes indiscriminately.
Don't start with the old lady, cutie. I happened to LIKE every post I have read. I have created other threads and have not given kudos to every response.
