If I recall, I couldn't open the presentation at the time (and I can't now) but I found the text elsewhere online. However, no sign of it now. Or at least, I can't find it. But when I looked at the presentation slides just now I'd say they went with the paper I remember reading.

I don't think it was quite like that. If I remember (and was a while ago), he said that people with some kinds of difficulties have an especially hard time dealing with this kind of forum. He mentioned borderline and narcisstic personalities as being particularly difficult for people who want to participate in a site like Babble. However, I can't provide a reference, so I won't try to dredge up much more from my memory. I mainly wanted to back Alex up. She didn't get it out of nowhere; I read the same source she read.
