View submission: /u/MRItopMD loses patience with reddit pedantry
You could replace "reddit" with any large online community and it would be applicable.

Yes and no. I've been on various social participation websites for many years, and I think Reddit does have it's own set of characteristics, and pros and cons I haven't quite seen elsewhere.
For example, 'I hate Reddit and I love it' was an interesting statement I've rarely heard others use about such sites. I can really feel him on that one, and I think part of it comes from the fact that this site captures so many different niche-interests and groups of people and kind of awkwardly smashes them together for better or worst.

But Reddit users think they're smart, and hide behind their anonymity to be kind of a dick.
On Twitter and Facebook it's stupid people you know. On Reddit it's "smart" people you don't.
