Active interaction vs. shared passive reactivity

Eh?

I'm not entirely sure what FacePaint means, but I suspect she's on to something.

in other words, there are quite a few keyboard heros here

The thunderous roar of active interaction certainly washed over this thread.

It's a nice way to describe it. We don't ooh and aaah over every funny witty or touching post. On the other hand, we are a bit over-combative at times, choosing not to react to the content of a post but rather to whatever there is about it that could possibly be objected to. Just for the sake of argument and entertainment of course.
