It seems Dr. Aboujaoude has a pretty low opinion of people's ability to choose for themselves what they want. The gripes about incorrect capitalization seem particularly petty. There seems to be little consideration given to the fulfillment people get from exploring alternate versions of their personality. Basically, it seems like he doesn't like the internet and then sets about justifying his position.


He doesn't seem to like much technology that's newer than television, from all I can see. Too, the direct link is to an outright puff piece. I'm really surprised this has survived on the front page as long as it has, or gotten so near the top.


The explanation for the latter is probably that people identify with the subject and want to discuss it anyway.

I am sure many jumped straight to the comments, as I did. I just want to hear what this community thinks about the topic.
