LordOfTheFlies Syndrome is one in which members of a community engage in unconscionable behavior, often not even civilized, if they feel they can be protected by anonymity, or otherwise are free from any (negative) consequences for their actions.
I suppose I have to agree with Psychologists that I may be guilty myself of unclean thoughts, and I am thankful that because I am not good at hiding my tracks, I can look at people straight into their eyes whether I go. It is a pity that lots of gifted and powerful people succumb to TheDevilWithinOneself?.
Oops I thought this page was called LordOfTheFiles Would have made an interesting read.
The power of the possibility of a punch in the face in the real world keeps a lot of people in check. This is missing on the web. We need eFist(tm).
