I think that has now changed, and the internet has had a lot to do with it. Kids growing up are a lot more informed, and encouraged to question and seek new knowledge. And with social networking, your sphere of friends and influence has greatly increased. That has led to more communication, but less face to face, and with twitter, texting, et al, shorter snippets that are more to the point, and less on the tact side. Personally, I think this is good. When you are online, you leave a record of what you say, and that forces some accountability. You can't get away with BS and maintain credibility. Unfortunately (but maybe entertaining), one of the consequences is more "online drama". People are quicker to take exception, and shoot back online. In person, those same people would be a lot more reserved in what they say. Anyway, that is just the way it is, so I guess we just need to accept and adapt...

![]() We have all experienced this issue. But while I may have come off harsh myself it not the case. Text has no emotion. We take the post depending on our mood and depending in the subject.
There are a few on here that are very passionate about what they say and while they may be blunt with certin threads like tangs they may also be very generous with help toward new members but still blunt. Thanks to the Internet everyone is a 300lb bad guy who is going to tell you how it is. Myself I don't have alot of friends due to work and family so I consider this forum as my group. Lol. Yeah I know. " loser". ![]() But being said that I try not to be mean or harsh and would expect a MSG back if some one felt such |
