Be careful!
It appears you are relatively safe from it if you don't spend most of your waking hours posting in infected forums. And narrow minds seem to be more vulnerable.
Symptoms:
You become delusional. Some are actually "birthers" now. You simply cannot absorb truth...even when it is pointed out to you and shown to you. You hang on to the delusions that mount in your brain and you will find yourself elaborating the story.
You become catty, nasty, belittling to others. I just witnessed many members of an infected forum belittling a woman based on her clothing. You seem to forget the lessons your mama taught you about being kind to others. You forget about humbleness and grace you learn in church. And it doesn't stop...the worm continues creating a venom in people that makes them ugly.
If the wormy people are confronted, they will make excuses for the ugliness that festers in them. They will make excuses for sharing emails that were meant to induce hatred. The worm eats all decency.
These worms remove shame too. This allows the wretched to be as hateful as they want...they simply have no shame or decency.
Cure:
Unknown. I haven't seen any regain their decency.
Believe this worm exists people! How else would you explain so many like minded people clustered in one particular forum? It finally makes sense.
I admire the good, uninfected people who are trying to cure the worm infected ones. Let me just remind you of that game where the worm races around and around the little box. That game is impossible to win. The worm spreads itself around too fast.
Forum worm. Know it. Believe it. Avoid it. It's icky.
