In the raging discussion: kids in social spaces that seemed to have been sparked sometime yesterday, D! made reference to the Five Geek Social Fallicies.
Everyone who has witnessed or participated in some or all of these fallicies at some point in your life, raise your hand.... OK, the rest of you are still in deluding yourselves ;) Joking aside, I freely admit to my own participation in this and have felt the negative effects a hell of a lot. However, this is the first time I've seen them spelled out and I thank the author most thoroughly for having the inclination and wherewithall to share it with the rest of us.
As for the kid discussion, I've been fascinated by the sociological study that it is and I expect a lot of people will find their trees shaken on both sides of the chatter.
