Leonard Pitts has the darker side of the net. While the blogging community watched the recovery of Daniel Taylor after various problems, sending prayers and wishes, while millions clicked Amazon buttons to help after 9/11, the net does also allow assholes - and that is the word. One group of them watched a young man commit suicide on his webcam about a week ago. Looking at the transcripts, it looks like the last words he read were those of fellow chat-room participants urging him to take one more batch of pills, one more hit on the rum. Whether they thought it would be cool to watch him die or just wanted to watch him trip out and were too stupid to figure out what was going on is hard to say. An ugly story, regardless.* * *
