Obama death group on Facebook shows the dark side of digital culture

Obama death group on Facebook shows the dark side of digital culture:

"The Obama death group, the South Park Muhammad episode, and even the Supreme Court case about a Christian student group point to a common lesson for today’s social-media age: We cannot foster freedom from a veil of anonymity."

One thing I've noticed is how little tolerance people seem to have for other people's opinions - at least when people don't agree with those opinions. On the other hand, those same people seem to think it is completely intolerable that people vociferously disagree with them. One good thing about anonymous opinions - I don't have to think that I may know those idiots - I find them intolerable.
