Or maybe, Kelly, it's simply expressing one's thoughts and ideas (you
know, "discussion").  It's very easy to dismiss posts (espcially those
one might find "upsetting") as the products of kids' depraved minds
and immaturity.  I think that attributing "snippish" posts to "kids
that get a kick out [of] making others upset" is being a bit
stereotypical, don't you?

Uh oh, there I go again, I feel a topic drift.

Linux rulez! <-- Something a kid might say...? Plus, it's on-topic.
