Default Re: The lack of class.

actually no. Again, the question is not whether one should live with it or not. the question is whether it is getting worse or not.

I judge by your repsonse its always been like this.

I disagree. The rudeness that happens seems to arise from two reasons. First, it is because of lack of social repercussion. Whether online or the real world, you would not act in certain ways if you were in a smaller community because of social repercussions (following the norms). Also, due to anonymity and the way our culture is constructed, people tend to say more extreme things to get their point across or to get attention.
