Well, this is off topic, but your Web page reference is no good and your e-mail address is not available, so this is the only means I have to respond to your question.
Every person, whether geek or non-geek, has hangups to work out. Like being behind the wheel of a car, it's a lot easier to be agressive in cyberspace--you don't believe you'll be held significantly accountable or jeopardized for your antisocial behavior. Geeks in general are socially challenged and are probably statistically more likely to be flamethrowers. I submit parents have more to do with it than anything, with personality and negative schoolyard experiences secondary influences. The resolution is individual maturation combined with inner healing, an incredibly difficult goal given the number of individuals in this condition. Have you read the non-glossary material in the Hacker's Dictionary yet?
