Quote:A trend in sociopathology?

Is it the case that all the degree-mill-shill internet forums of recent years have displayed strongly homophobic, antisemitic, anti-Muslim colors? That was certainly the case with militaryforums/militarydistance education as well as the not-quite-extinct DLT. But there have been a number of short-lived ones in the heyday of St. Regis, too, that were nasty in tone. I think they were a little more broadminded in their misanthropy, but I do remember how much anti-Catholic material John Dovelos posted in early 2005 in some places.

A good analysis of this would require proper identification of the few wretches hiding under the many aliases to avoid overcounting. Certainly the small number of people at DLT were responsible for much of the howling at MilitaryFork'ems.

It appears that most of their anti-African American postings are less broad-spectrum racism than rage that the most popular presidential candidate in 2008 is the son of an African father. And since he is an educated, articulate man with earned degrees from legitimate schools, he is the target of their anger. It is funny to think that the apparent racism of the two active DLT members might actually be a cover for a different source of their antipathy.
