It really is an interesting article, and really very telling. It explains a LOT of the asshattery present in fandom, for instance. I wrote a paper on the disinhibition effect for a class last year, and it was some of the most useful reading I'd done in a while.

But think about it -- this covers not only anon memes, but sock-puppet antics as well. I mean, if you just think about how much of this applies to fandom and LJ and other places on the internet, it's kind of boggling.
