A qualitative, descriptive analytical focus on this remarkable platform--where people come together to interact insistently, colorfully, and often with stunning ferocity--highlights key processes by which human communicators construct meaning.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert L.
