Quote:What I do believe, however, is that Gus Sainz more than any one single person, changed the tone of the various DL fora from friendly, helpful, supportive and somewhat collegial to angry, bitter, spiteful, condescending and hateful. Gus engaged in baiting, stalking, outing and character assassination and effectively polarized the entire online DL community. Sure he had help but he was the driving force behind that campaign.
I said this before...
these keyboard sociopaths are most probably the harmless guy with facial twitches who -after the graveyard shift at the burger joint- sits in the bar in the twilight. He's so polite and would never raise his voice. One day Moe the 180kg bike-riding, bearded bully even spat in his drink...guess what, he ordered another...Moe spat in it again...he ordered another and so on until he was out of money, and so the harmless guy went home.
There...oh, there! his life begins...as soon as he logs-on the internet he's the terror of criminals, a well-respected pundit, a professional with a glamorous career earning the proverbial "sixfigures"...wonder boy, man of steel, king of the sea...a superhero.
To each his own, eh?
