Good grief. This Metatalk thread is like watching a traffic accident in slow motion. What is it about the act of posting on a website that makes people reluctant to take responsibility for their actions? Is it the anonymity factor? (i.e. “If nobody knows my real name, I don’t have to say I’m sorry.”) Yeah, it sucks when people gang up on you, but if you’ve made a genuine error, admit it and move on. The Net would be a much nicer place for all of us.

do you know what the MeFi post in question was about? it’s been pulled already.
You can see it on Lofi Mefi. Just scroll down to the 21st. It’s the one about Neuroprosthesis News.
