The idea that a loony subset are now on the digital-loose reminds me of how someone once described the reputation of Chinese group tourists. They explained that it wasn't indicative of all Chinese, but more likely a recently upwardly-mobile lower-middle class with new money to travel. It was implied that these were the equivalent of Australian bogans or American rednecks (I guess). After all, Americans have had a particular reputation as travellers also, so perhaps went through the same phase?
