The internet is a mass phenomena today being easily accessible. Consequently the level and volume of stupidity is converging to that of the real world(tm). Having said so, the good old times weren't that shiny as well. IRC and everything chat related was sub-standard 20 years ago as well. Quite interesting how anonymity turned introverted and emphatically retarded nerds into wild predators.
