Can someone please tell me why 9 times out of 10 when someone posts a critical comment...even those followed by those stupid little smiley faces or cyber grins...people go on the offensive?

Egos float around the web like open sores I guess...just waiting to be scratched.

Keith, my post was NOT some kind of attack on your personal being. You posted a TA thing, I saw an interesting contrast and mentioned it...with a smile.

Somehow, cyberspace must develop a culture that allows for civil communication that doesn't have the advantage of visual cues to clarify meaning.

People who post opinions should expect to get comments back...why else post? People who curse in public should expect someone to say knock it off (not related to you Keith...but other situations here). People need to view the glass as half full and look to the positive side before taking offense. Those who are offensive (based on the views of each community) should clean up their act or go somewhere else.

Spending less and less time on these boards.
