Plato definitively helps people – often a response may get unexpected readers thinking.
Some of his input and feedback has been really valuable in my journey. A person can be very skillful in communicating for a particular group – people come in different flavours. Nevertheless, I wouldn’t diss a person definitely, like nothing he could say would be of any value more.

And who said Plato hates life? Really, that’s not my impression. His quirks – I suspect that he is very conscious about them and deals with them, while we others have ‘flaws’ that aren’t visible on a public board. I’m no saint compared to him, and try to remember that words on a forum doesn’t reveal but a piece of a personality.

This is an internet forum and I acknowledge that I can’t wear my heart on my shirtsleeve – I come in contact with people that I otherwise wouldn’t meet, communication is much more unclear, and especially, more open for everybody, independent of whether I like them or not. For me this is one of the strenghts of online communications – I can receive different answers than I would get in real life due to selection. This difference offers me a chance to test my beliefs and boundaries, and to grow a little bit as a person.
Off course, direct insults and personal attacks I don’t care much for.

A WWW without Plato would be a bit less rewarding, a web without all you other, so too.
