   The sandbox and peanut gallery fit right in with Usenet,   
   though it can also be a calm place for well thought-out   
   discussion and witty remarks, and of course, humour,   
   irony and satire. They all are self-evident truths and   
   belong to the territory. Nothing could be more native.   
   And anybody can also take anything in any way possible,   
   so what is meant as insult can be taken as compliment,   
   and vice versa. Everything can be taken in levity, or   
   gravity. It can go both ways. That is the margin of   
   freedom, on top of the automatic protection of   
   asynchronicity which covers everyone without distinction.   
      
   Those who cannot stand the heat should get out of the   
   kitchen. Don't bite more than you can chew. When you   
   are in an hole, don't dig deeper. Don't blame others for   
   your spontaneous self-combustion.
