If I threw a party and let anyone who showed up in, over a short period of time, obnoxious young males would take over the party, driving everyone else who didn't care to put up with that away. This actually happens routinely to naive teenagers.

Going online isn't any different. Being obnoxious isn't adding anything to any conversation. No one is getting enlightened. We all know the vast array of bigotry out there. Unless we're under a rock, we're exposed to it daily. The same goes for trolling and other forms of harassment. Civility and careful thought are cornerstones of debate and viewpoint sharing.
