World history is nothing more than a chronicle of the rise and fall of one civilization after another. Even as one country reaches a cultural pinnacle and begins to show promising efforts to advance the human race towards a utopian goal, so another country, motivated not by altruism, is plotting to topple its visionaries and derail its progression. It is no different in the ether of virtual communities.

It was bound to happen, sooner or later.... Paradise on earth (or the Internet) is an illusion.
