I think I may agree with what you're saying here, but as usual, I look at an issue from all points of view, including (sadly enough) the view of nasty people.
Yes, we all must strive to be more considerate on the 'net and especially, BZP. That's one of the thing that gives the internet a bad name in the first place; people not caring who they hurt. I definatly try to be respectful of the BZCommunity on the whole, and (I don't think) I've never purposefully insulted anyone on here. We all should try to give everyone equal merit, and definately take the time to think about what we're typing before clicking that "Add post" button.
On the opposite spectrum, what you have to remember is that there are people out there (usually really bored people) who get on the internet for the sole purpose of hurting as many as they can. Then, you've got those "Newest Generation" (as I like to call them) kids, those mere novices who think they're all that and a bag of potato crisps, who simply think that because they are who they are, or have what they have, they're Gods. Well, of course the obvious answer is they're not, and should really grow up. It's all a bit downhill, and I'm aware I may be insulting someone, whether intentionally or not. Sorry in advance, but really.
That, sweetheart, is the way of the world. (my wanting to quote someone here is amazing, and yet I can't remember who said that...)
IN ESSENCE: I agree with what you say, and fully endorse the message, but there are some things good people generally just can't control. We wish we could have a world without pain, without ignorence, but it sadly is never going to happen as long as we're all human.
