    @Allie

    These aren't the smart people; they're simply liberally-inclined people (mostly) whose hypergraphia may give them a temporary appearance of intelligence. In some cases I'm guessing that they no longer have the ability to read an entire two-page article and simply start hammering away at their keyboards about two paragraphs in, trying to be frist or whatever.

    I had to laugh at your suggestion about kittens, though.
