It's interesting that in some endeavors, one can express
an opinion, or even be factually wrong about something,
and not be called an idiot. Not here, however.

Note that so-called subjectivists seem to be more prone to use the word
idiot - both on each other and on objectivists. On RAO one of the most
prolific orgionators of the word is George Middius.

I agree with you that it comes from both "sides". It's all "idiotic" if
you ask me. All part of the "talk radio culture", IMO.

I don't see the link to talk radio... which, minimally has to be
considered moderated. I think it's simply the internet culture
where one doesn't have to reveal their identity (many actually
think its foolish to do so) and have little chance of ever
meeting their adversaries face to face, so the usual motivations
for civility... simply aren't there.
