You don't get it. There are always consequences for all of one's
actions. How is writing in Usenet different from actually sending
someone a letter? The words are real because they register in
people's minds, whatever the source. One doesn't do some things
one wants to no matter how much, because it is not right. Hillel
said, "Do _not_ do unto others as you would not have them do unto
you."
Just once, imagine how you would feel if we (all whom you have
insulted) did the same to you and act accordingly.
