Why are we being so mean to each other?

I've noticed abruptness and rudeness from some Newbies when their question is not answered in the way they think it should be. I think this is bacause they don't always get our cheeky, bantering style until they have made a couple of posts. Also not saying thankyou for info and tips is increasing. I wonder if this is because some people moan about the number of 'Thanks' posts people make, but IMO it's good manners and costs nothing.
Can be a bit cheeky sometimes and agree that teasing doesn't always come across well on paper. Tend to reserve teasing for those I feel I know well and can take it. (Sorry 160, and thank you for taking it in good fun)
On Disscussion things can get a bit heated cos that's the nature of the beast. Many of the topics are designed to get the verbal sparring juices going. I love to get into the nitty gritty of a debate (safe in the knowledge that I am right of course) ::) I hope I'm not too bombastic but I am opinionated by nature and have skin as thick as a Rhino so what I see as verbal tit-tat others may be upset by.
At the end of the day people only know you by your posts, nothing is personal cos they don't REALLY know you. So my advice would be if someone upsets you post a :P and shrug it off.Life's a beach! Take your shoes off and feel the sand between your toes.0 -
