San Diego, Academic Computer Center Lines: 7 Why is the net almost monopolized by a few individuals? And why is the tone of debate so abrasive? After being subjected to seeing another Jew equated with a Nazi for holding a Torah belief I had to stop reading one individuals posting in order to avoid his unpleasantness.
