Who can't come through the door to the room you're in unless you invite them.

This does not actually seem to describe the state of the internet generally. I gravitate more and more towards little pocket-universe parts of the network that are essentially invisible, but (apropos of the article) things like comment sections are quite often the functional equivalent of a giant neon ASSHOLES WELCOME sign above the door.

You just have to remind yourself that the assholes are just shadows on the cave wall, the same as you are to them.

And again, the cave entrance is never more than a few steps behind you.
