I realised a while ago, while getting pulled into a flamewar, that most of the folks that appeared to be a bit backward/obnoxious/loud were in fact 15 years old and acting like perfectly normal teenagers. You can feel a bit silly when, after engaging in a heated discussion with someone about software releases, you then notice that their next post is to ask for help with their homework.

Were I to fall off my skateboard after school and break my Nitrus I suppose it is reassuring that I would have somewhere to vent.
