must say I agree ... & we see plenty here for sure

hmmm very interesting indeed...
though I'd say I'm mostly the same online as offline...
just that I tend to go online when I'm in a not-so-savoury mood (whatever mood it may be that's not positive)
the internet tends to be an escape, and hence people catch the brunt of something they shouldn't (and usually has nothing to do with them)
**SORRY GUYS!!!!!**

"Another factor influencing online communication, according to Epley, is simply the risk of miscommunication involved with text-based messages, which are inherently more ambiguous."

Personally, I was raised not to attack someone verbally for the sake of an argument...whether or not I'm in front of them or not hardly matters. So, I'm the same in real life as I am on line.
In my books, if someone has to resort to insults to make their point, then a lack a smarts is involved and the argument is void and I lose interest almost immediately...
Too many people confuse debating with arguing...a healthy polite debate will generally end up with both parties being smart enough to agree to disagree, and it can be very stimulating for both parties...

If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
White is the new black
I have my own theory: people are arseholes.

A few years ago I did a research project on the subject. Took me months and I even went to the trouble of categorising all the different ways people flame (fallacy debate).
The New Scientist guys opinions reflect pretty much what I found. Most people, even in local forums like this, seem to think they are anonymous and will say stuff they would never dare say in person. That was certainly what Blackbuell and I noted the first time I showed up at the Auckland post run pub and challenged those there to speak the same way in person that they had online.
The silence was deafening............................

I was raised not to let an idiot get away with a dumb comment without at least knowing that someone thought it was bullshit; that was wayyy before the internet.
I continue to live by that credo

So true! Too often it quickly ends up as "I don't like what you said so fuck you".Too many people confuse debating with arguing...a healthy polite debate will generally end up with both parties being smart enough to agree to disagree, and it can be very stimulating for both parties
Kinda inevitable when passion in a subject is involed. Guess that's what Godwin's law comes into it right?
