No doubt that "The television model of communications has had a 
murderous record in promoting the culture of aggression". I think that's 
the fault of the model not the medium.

What I do "desire to reproduce in cyberspace" is the print model of 
communications using the video medium. Most book publishers charge a 
fee and make a profit and it seems to have been working well for several 
centuries. 

The hateful code words that you mention are either a hallucination or a
misinterpretation of my messages.
