<<It is easier to fire back a stinging rebuke if you don't have to look the rebukee in the eye and also have fear of physical violence on their part.>> You know, I think thats a most interesting observation. It does seem that people are more willing to spout off without fear of retribution. I have to admit on more than one occasion I have thought how nice it would be for people to conduct themselves to my face in the same way they do online. But I've found in my time on SI that in most cases what you give is what you get. Now I'm not a guy who's really thrilled at the prospects of physical violence. That said I'm not a small man in stature. On more than one occasion I have found people to make remarks that they would never make to my face as I towered over them. What strikes me as odd is that you too have noticed this very same thing yet based on the out of order postings below you seem to have no problem with conducting yourself in a way that, if I read your posts intent correctly, you dont seem to advocate. Now, I'm not going to just single you out as the only offender as I have had my share of heated exchanges on SI. But I do find it interesting if not hypocritical that you would question the friendly spirit on SI on the one hand and engage in casting aspersions on the other. Just food for thought.
