Maybe you need to get out more. Attend a public meeting of your community's residents whenever there is a contentious issue: a proposal from a developer to build 1200 square foot townhomes in the middle of 3000 square foot single family homes, a proposal to plop a Home Depot big box store next to a residential area, a proposal to raise taxes, whatever. You will see all the flaming you could want, and it won't be anonymous, it won't be restrained by any sense of civility, and the imprecations against the life and health of opponents will be as vicious as any on the web. And, no, the majority of the folks won't be like this, but the majority on the web aren't either. And these flamers won't be kids. You'll see any age/gender/race/size you can imagine. The Real World: still the source of everything on the web!
What I love about this is the blatant way they destroy their own, ah, credibility: "Despite this progress, Linux still has weaknesses and dangers, as we've pointed out in the past. Click for more."
So you click for more. And all you get, all you find is the same *claim* repeated over again that there are "more" problems besides the claim that it's a problem that there's no "commercial entity" to turn to for support (itself a false claim to begin with, persuading no one).

When those 'unpredictable' "post-humans" and/or "AI" are beyond us, who will become the Morlocks, and who will become those sweet and delectable Eloi?
