re:: My problem with finding a religion BOARD that doesnt automatically attack you

[Imnotdumb]

I am curious.Why do I find so many uncivil encounters at online forums? I'd honestly like to know. It is easy to forget that you are ripping into a real person on the other end of your comment, I say,. My personal theory is people are anonymous online, so they think they can say whatever they want without regard to any consequences. People don't have to be polite online. Commonly, Once whoever has been baptized in the acid of the internet experience. Ever after comes to expect I am going to be "attacked". The person becomes an online misanthrope. With this idea of 'I d better lash out first'. People are kinda afraid to post sometimes. Thanks to this. That would explain why you have lurkers on the everyday board. I also see it as a general breakdown in civility in our society.
