Oh look. An update.
Someones A Little Late To The Party:
There's a lovely article up on CNN today about online ego's. Link here.
Essentially what this article boils down to is that our fragile little human ego's can even get injured through the internet! Shock and surprise abound. But not really.
Apparently scientists are just now getting around to discovering that that people interact with the internet in the same ways they do with the real world. (well, except with less restraints on their actions) The people in the article find it startling that this occurs. I find it startling that it took them this long to figure that out.
Clearly these people just don't spend much time interacting with people through the internet. If they did, they'd have known that internet ego's are just as big (if not bigger than) real life ones. Visit any forum or chat room. Question anyone through the net and things are bound to get ugly the second an ego (or e-peen as some groups will call it) is threatened.
