Cross-posted] Remember when the internet was full of educated people at universities, geeks wanting to help fellow netizens out, and people with high-minded ideals of reaching out to colleagues to make the world better?

How shameful that this alleged manipulator (

There’s no sense of community spirit left in some circles. It’s something we need to change for the next generation.
