Summary: 

Steve asks: "are there more jerks"?  Perhaps they go in cycles, and
we're in the middle of a peak (canyon?).  It seems that many netters
follow a shape like a brontosaurus ("My theory, by A. Elk (Miss)"),
reaching some sort of posting/reading peak in the middle somewhere,
and then realizing that it's all pointless anyway, and trailing off
into oblivion.

Picture a random collection of 'n' jerks, who, due to the wild and
random laws of nature, are all reaching their "posting peak" right
this very minute ...

Perhaps if we ignore them they'll all go away.  Myself, I've always
tended to discount the ravings of lunatics (well, except my own
ravings of course ...).  I mean, any reasonable person realizes
these others are jerks and ignores them.  Therefore, only other
jerks pay atention to them anyway, so who cares??  (ooops ...)
