> A sense of being exploited, maybe?

Pent up emotions due to consumerism in the age of information?

Yes this is a promotion, I do not want to hide this part of my intent. 
But I do not see why it has to be at the expense of anyone. No one 
should be shamed, thats why the presenter can use a fake pseduonymn 
(hence anonymous discussion).

In a nutshell, you aspire to be Jerry
> Springer, with us as your "guests".

When Julian met Eric discussing web's relationship with society, neither 
side thought of it as Jerry Springer (although entertaining to read), 
but a way for us to understand our reality better.

Well, unbiased to the dependence of time, since the most recent articles 
are shown first. I guess the curation is bias, because I wanted the 
sources to be legit. If you can PM me with suggestions on how to make it 
better let me know!

Yes its an overly simplification, but discourse helps to understand the 
strengths and weakness of both.

Hope you well in any regards. I rather not get involved in the debate 
myself, but will try to be a good moderator as a bridge to be able to 
connect both sides perspectives.
