I think it reached critical mass by accident (in around 1996) and since 
then a lot of effort has been put into trying to fossilise the classic 
Californian educated middle class liberal values which permeated it up 
until them.

At some point since then, a whole load of people with much darker 
motives have infiltrated the Internet, and it's about time more 
attention was paid to how to keep the 'black hats' from unduly affecting 
the day to day usage of the Internet by the 'white hats'.
