Has anyone ever wondered why a lot of people on forums are so hostile in discussions?
I am not talking about heated debates I am talking about instead of having objective discussions where two reasonable people can disagree, it digresses into name calling and many times very offensive and vulgar insults.
This is a similar reason why I got out of gaming. You couldnt keep the jerks off of the servers who seemed to gain pleasure out of coming in and being offensive. It took the fun and pleasure out of playing.
I don't know if it is the anonymity of the internet or what, but I think that has something to do with it.
It just seems to me that there are lots of people in internet forums in general, not just this one, who need to take a step back and realize the person on the other end is just a person. We may not agree, but I can tell you I think your wrong without calling your a *&@T@^% moron or something. Bringing in that kind of rhetoric only spawns more. It gets tiresome after a while.
In fact, I hesitate to post this as I am sure there will be posts like I am talking about above. But, it is something I wanted to throw out there so please, don't post on this thread unless you have something serious to add.
Thougts?
