I agree with much of what you say.  I don't agree with the last
sentence.  Depending on other factors, a public broadcast of a
personal statement can produce enough of a negative effect so that
it should be prohibited, but simply boasting ignorant jumble does
not, by itself, fall into that category.  The nature of posting to
a newsgroup like this one does nothing to change that.

Personal opinion:  the comments from David Brown do more harm than
good here.  At some level he is just a guilty of giving a preachy
opinion as the person he is responding to.  It seems likely that
his statements will exacerbate the offending behavior rather than
diminish it.
