    Maybe that's why you don't get on so well on this forum?

      I've drunk myself into a semicolon, does that count?

        I avoided that particular obvious cut-down...

          1. People are stupid, believe horrendous things, are almost always wrong, and thus deserve it
          To us, it is the BEAST.

            Basically, it's 24/7 virtual road rage. You can say whatever you want because 99 percent of the time nobody is going to do anything about it. right aeson

            2. It's power.
            It's a turn on to get people's attention -- especially people we perceive more popular or powerful than ourselves. Negativity always gets more attention than positivity.

            3. It's fun.
            For some people anyway.

            4. It's war.
            We seem to need enemies to feel like we are a part of something bigger than us.

            5. It's free.
            Why pay to be entertained when you can stir up trouble for the cost of broadband?

            6. It's ignorance.
            Most mean people online seem to not ever think about the people or groups they are attacking.

            7. It's comforting.
            When we hate we join voices with other haters.

            8. It's arrogance.
            If you know the truth, you have to let the world know even if it stings a little, right?

            9. It's primal.
            It doesn't take long for an online argument to start

            10. It's natural.
            Ultimately we are mean because we are mean.
            SHUT UP, YOU MORON!

                    I'm off to drink myself into a comma...
                    Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..

                    Look, I just don't anymore, okay?

                        We are comparing Belgian and Swiss over a few cognacs, enjoying the lake view, living large in the Alps.
