It is because on the internet nobody knows you are a dog. (taken from the Dilbert comic)

It all depends


some will say they are "honest" without taking the time to filter it all through the Polite valve


if you ask for advice from an open forum you've got to be prepared to take the wheat with the chaff


you apparently believe All People should be taught to be Nice but a lot of people have either never been taught that or else taught that Nice is a type of biscuit (my upbringing)


Go to another country and they all seem Incredibly Rude to the average Westerner


They're not, they just have a different set of standards


Like Chinese burping - we find it gross - but there's More of Them Than Us so who's Impolite and Who Isnt?

I think 80% is low! I'm also convinced there are a handful of posters using multiple usernames regularly in several forums.

I think it's higher, but I'm trying to be "nice"

And some other ones with higher power.

It's funny how a "new poster" knows the in and outs of a forum they have never been on before.

I agree, you have brand new posters that seem to know all of the ins and outs.... I keep threatening to leave CD just because it has become overrun with trolls, most threads just don't seem legit to me. We've always have had trolls, but now they seem to be gaining strength in numbers.

I think it's mating season.

One person's "mean and judgemental" is another person's "frank and realistic".

I don't know and I don't care. Luckily those types are consistently nasty and bitter in their posts. After a while you know which ones are just here to start arguments. Thank God we have a block function!
