What I see in the community now is a love for carnal response. You think of something and post it without thought. Take Chimera's proposal for example. Instead of considering his views, the posters tear down his personality. This is not responsible posting.

There's also a bend toward 'carnal assumption'-taking what words are in front of you and not bothering to comprehend what is being said, followed by 'carnal response'.
I've seen this in every single forum I've ever been part of: simply put, people read text with their own inflections and accented words. A simple 'Why should I...?' could be read 3 different ways and taken at least two different ways-either a legitimate question of 'how come' or personal affront.
I'd add to Chimera's 3 and add another 3-"I don't understand". And if you still have difficulties with someone's post or how you're reading it, there's this feature called 'private message'....
We're all adults(or pretending to be to get in here); we should be able to have a level of discussion without going the 'poopyhead' route.
Type, read it, read it again, edit and if it looks too poopyheaded, if that's not how you yourself would want to be addressed, close the window....
