Thanks!

My DVR cut off the end of the episode. Anyone mind telling me what Oliver and Barry talked about in the bar (or if anything else happened after that)?

And the people at Reddit, Twitter, et al are consistently trying to figure out a way to better isolate them. People have better things to do with their lives than worry about getting doxxed by an internet troll.

Better to just leave them in their own isolated corner of the internet than to stir up the hornet's nest.

I don't remember. Some sort of play on the whole "eye of the beholder" line.

Rod Serling wrote an episode of The Twilight Zone with a similar premise in 1960. It's pretty good.

Where did these people come from?

Mick's a supervillain and Legends of Tomorrow trying to cast him and Captain Cold as heroes was a baffling decision.

Bullshit. A small number of people from 4chan never would've gotten involved if there wasn't that "bandwagon" (as you put it) on Tumblr already harassing the poor girl.

They'll set up separate accounts, probably get even more brazen with how they harass the people who use the site. No one wants to be doxxed.

Let's be honest with ourselves - putting up a camera in a store isn't going to clean up an area. It's only going to make it easier to catch people when the store is inevitably robbed.

To be fair, almost half the people in that photo aren't superheroes.

This sort of targeted, constant harassment has a much more damaging effect than you seem to realize.

Cyberbulling is a serious problem.

It remains decent because of the community. You've curated your online experience to avoid the toxic ones.

Do you have a Twitter account? Twitter can be a frightening place.

You haven't come across spambots on The A.V. Club? Do you come here often?

Not as effective as you might think. People with banned accounts will make a new one. Ban an IP, and they'll find away around that, too. Then they'll have to deal with complaints from other people on that IP that can't use their site.

Not as effective as you might think. People will quickly find a way around the filter.

They have moderators, but there can be a shitload of comments and times when moderators aren't available. Also, it's expensive to pay people (assuming you meant "hire" literally) to do that. Moderating a website is almost always done by volunteers.
