Forumania
Arguments and disagreements are fine, encouraged, and expected but oftentimes the arguments and disagreements become TOO intense and heated; at such moments, WE ALL go beyond the pale and-ATTACK! Yes, with FEW exceptions, WE ALL DO IT! All because a person expresses an opinion that is different from the majority construc tor because it is an opinion and/or finding that NO ONE ELSE has expressed before. Is there too much condescension, personal attacks, overt and covert bullying and other forms of bad behavior in the forums? Yes? No? Why?
Warning: language can be rough, highly toxic, and utterly inflammatory in such videos, advisories are in effect, again be warned.

Is it easier to attack a person who rights a forum question?
Could it be that it is easier because you don't have to face them. Could it be that the written word can be taken so many different ways. Could it be that people take out their anger on others so they don't have to look inside themselve?
