Why so nasty

Why are some people so nasty on here. I'm not talking about different of opinions. I'm talking sarcastic comments. Being nasty towards the op. Some posters even look up the op history and use it against the op whilst adding untruths .

You're right, Op. If people can't disagree with someone else without being rude and insulting how on earth do they manage in real life?

I've noticed that. Also what often happens is that a thread starts off fine, with posters all being either supportive or helpful and then someone comes along, starts picking holes and finding some random comment by the OP and using it as a weapon, then a whole load of other people join in. Like some sort of hunting pack mentality. When one starts, they all do.

Yes! I see this all the time. Clearly a bunch of people sit in waiting until someone else writes what they think because they’re too scared to be the first. Then they all type in a frenzy at once 😆

If threads like this are happening often then maybe there's some truth in it .

If I were on a forum I thought was generally inhabited by aggressive, foul-mouthed vipers, I’d probably beetle off to one of the other available places to hang out online, rather than post a faux-naive complaint.
