Why do you care ? What difference does it make ?
I think the point that the parent post was trying to make is that originally, the internet could have been a tool for meaningful and intelligent discourse. You know intelligent conversation? It can be enjoyable at times. Beneficial too.
The attitude shown in your post is that the internet is already meaningless and we should not care about it.
It's sad that 99.9% of forums out there are reduced to meaningless trolling, astroturfing and rampant idiocy. I find it ironic that the technological advances that brought about the internet has done more to glorify stupidity than anything in the last hundred years.
Working with the public made me lose faith in human nature and the notion that people are generally sane and smart.
It's funny how, since I've changed careers and no longer work with the public, the internet is working to take up that slack.
It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
