Real world... here?????

Here on Usenet you still have your typical schoolyard bullies that never
grew up so they come to Usenet to bully folks here. In the 'real'
world, their actions would just get them a punch in the mouth or worse
these days, but here on Usenet they think they are 'free' to abuse as
'they' see fit because they feel 'safe' behind their computer instead of
feeling 'safe' behind 10 buddies like when they used to bully on the
schoolyard.

This group isn't near as bad as some, that's for sure...
