I love it. It's like Big Brother in a sense, with many online personalities and cliques that form over time. I doubt many of the things we say online we'd say face~to~face but i guess "The Internet" removes that intimacy and we fail to see that the other person we're "dragging" is a person too.
You also have to take into context what people's real~life situations are like and what their motives are to come on ATRL. If they want to discuss music with other like~minded souls, to make friends or just to watch the world burn (like me).
