Well, yeah, dumb. Even really, really dumb. Probably people more into the fanfic realm than I am are better connosieurs of "copyright dumb" and can really appreciate the nuances of dumb there.
It's just, I guess my perspective is a tad different. In my line of work, I regularly encounter people who left stable 25-year marriages with still-minor children, to run off with someone they met on the internet, whose face they've never seen. Or who write public posts about crimes they commit, and wonder how they ever got caught. That's where I get my top ten dumb internet people lists.
