Hey I was just thinking...like when I said before that flaming someone 
is a pathetic form of dominating them...Well, so is any sort of 
moderation of the list. but that's obvious.
It's also a form of flaming when one points out that a person is flaming 
another. eek! *headscratching*
I agree with so-and-so when they said that these lists  allow people to 
act in ways they wouldn't in real life, which has good and bad 
consequences. I know that in real life I'd have abolutely nothing to say 
in a conversation about Baudrillard. Alls I know about him is I've read 
some of his Semiotext(e) books and Introducing Baudrillard, which blew 
my mind (at least, the stuff I could understand)! I'm not a student of 
philosophy at all. I'm a student at a third-rate southern new jersey 
party school (Actually I transfered to a good school) where nobody would 
know baudrillard from tv's fraiser...blah blah blah
