The first one at least is so, so true. That's one of the things I adore about the Internet, the escape it gives from that state.

And yet one runs into people like that on the Internet, too...;)

As to the other two quotes--they are also often true; I'd seen it happen...as John C. Maxwell put it, people who are themselves hurting hurt other people...not always, but often...

On another note, re: John C. Maxwell, had you read his Limburgher cheese story? ;)
