Rare? No, not really. These fora have more than their fair share of trolls, and yes, it is about the person posting. By the way, trolls rarely have anything useful to contribute. That's pretty much their MO. They just want to stir the plot.
Does the word Sarcasm mean anything to you? Should I have put a smiley to alert you?
No, I think mainly it is the anonymity that the internet provides. Unfortunately, the internet tends to reinforce the bitterness through the lack of face to face contact with actual people.
LOL, I am not saying that there might not be a psychological factor, all I say is that we have a geographical one, and hence it is possibly due to bad education. If you are well educated you will be mostly tolerant, and polite. Exactly the opposite of trolls, who are also very distinctively illiterate. Where did education go to the dogs, you think?
I reaffirm my previous comment. You are simply labeling people to try and dismiss them entirely. You mentioned ignoring certain posts and people. Well that can be done without calling people "trolls," "fanboys," and "lunatics."
Sorry to break it to you but there is nothing positive or productive about "sarcasm."Does the word Sarcasm mean anything to you? Should I have put a smiley to alert you?
Ok, understand. Yes, I suppose that education does come into play to some degree.
That seems to be so. I was especially taken aback by the internecine warfare among Nikon fans over the Df, much blood soaked the carpet.
