Nah, Meat space. They are pigs, after all.

well written but a notable lack of how the site is filled with newfags posting their tiny cocks asking for other newfags to rate them.

It's practically main stream now. Look at all the movies with nerdy loser heroes which have far too many internet/nerd/geek whatever references.

Although I never actually go to the site, I do find what they do to be amusing. Sure, there are probably some people there who are truly messed up, but most of them are fairly normal people. My old roommate used to browse /b/ all the time, and he was completely normal. (social, good looking girlfriend, good job, etc...)

As much as most of the content on the site disgusts me, I do think places like 4chan are needed to keep pushing the boundaries of free speech. There are plenty of people trying to take our freedoms one step at a time.

4chan is just one example. Fred Phelps for instance. I would love to see him die in a horrific car accident, but I don't think he should be prevented from doing what he does. The mosque "at" ground zero is another example. Do I personally like the idea? Not necessarily. I don't think anyone should have a say in it though. It is protected by freedom of religion.
