	On CIvic Friendship
		That is, it is a society in which (1) everyone accepts and knows that the others accept the same principles of justice, and (2) the basic social institutions generally satisfy and are generally known to satisfy these principles.
		Occasional acts of violence against the government or the social order, such as the Oklahoma City bombing, are universally recognized as aberrations, and the belief of the perpetrators that such acts will "set off" a mass rebellion against the established political order are immediately recognized as delusional.
		(Sound familiar?) The cement of social union dissolves, as the individual is encouraged to arm himself, is told not to trust his government, and as he retreats into his own home, encountering the outer world (more likely a fantasy world) through his TV or computer screen.

		Gadflies are only barely further along in the evolutionary chain of things than maggots and slugs.
		A gadfly tends to be someone with ideas, energy and a modicum of talent but who lacks a PR firm, ghostwriter and a proper flair for networking.
		The problem gadflies face is not that they are irrelevant or wrong but that their timing is a bit off.

		In the field of social psychology, a breaching experiment is an experiment that seeks to examine peoples reactions to violations of commonly accepted social rules or norms.
		The troll attempts to pass as a legitimate participant, sharing the group's common interests and concerns; the newsgroups members, if they are cognizant of trolls and other identity deceptions, attempt to both distinguish real from trolling postings, and upon judging a poster a troll, make the offending poster leave the group.
		Trolling can be described as a breaching experiment, originally conceived of by sociologist Harold Garfinkel, which, because of the use of an alternate persona, allows for normal social boundaries and rules of etiquette to be tested or otherwise broken, without serious consequences.

	The Harvard Crimson :: Opinion :: Social Studies: A Second Class Elite?
		While Social Studies is billed as an "elite" concentration, its 250 concentrators do not, in effect, receive all of the same benefits as students in most departmental, and even in non-departmental, concentrations.
		Social Studies does have a handful of junior faculty members who do have a commitment to the concentration, but they cannot be offered tenure in Social Studies, which now has no tenured positions.
		Social Studies concentrators are awaiting signs from the administration that it has the same faith in the concentration that they do.

	Internet troll
		Self-proclaimed trolls often style themselves as Devil's Advocates or gadflies, challenging the dominant discourse and assumptions of the forum they are "trolling" in an attempt to subvert and introduce different ways of thinking.
		Indeed, since intentional trolls are alleged to knowingly flout social boundaries, it is difficult to typecast them as socially inept since they have arguably proven adept at their goal of inciting conflict.
		A person rejected by a social group, both online and "IRL", may assume an antagonistic role toward it, and seek to further annoy or anger members of the group.

		Readers of all ages were inspired by a sense of mission and social responsibility, it was a worldview that was inflected equally by traditional statist Confucianism and Mao Zedong Thought.
		The Gadfly is a companion that shares their youth, survives their disillusionment and then is re-evaluated as they think through the significance of the Cultural Revolution and the meaning it has for their personal fate and that of the Chinese revolution.
		It is for these reasons—ambiguity and complexity—that readers of The Gadfly kept returning to the story, reading and re-reading it, finding in it as they grew and changed ever new meanings and layers that they could relate to in their own lives.
