Why would you care what some anonymous person says about you on the Internet? I've been called sand n---er, paki, etc, but that's just ignorant people being ignorant. I'm sure some of the people I interact with on a daily basis think the same thoughts. But again, it doesn't really affect me. Ironically, the kind of Internet you push for is flawed because it will make everyone self-censor and "doublethink; which is dangerous. We must protect unabridged free speech, even if it is ugly, lest we fall into the trap of an Internet where a lot of people are speaking but are not really saying anything.
