Not only are there rude posts against the blogger, but eventually people start attacking the posts themselves, and the everything turns into hate posts. I quite agree.

You sure hit the nail on the head. Too many rude people in blogs and forums. Man o man. You sure hit the nail on the head. Too many rude people in blogs and forums.

The operative word in your post was 'manners'. There appears to be a great lack of respect and consideration of others. We see this in road rage incidents, incidents in schools and in public places. How often do you see someone open a door for another, or even say 'thank you'. Maria,

I think it's because people (even including their nicknames or shortnames, or whatever) feel themselves anonymous. There's a colleague of mine, an anthropologist, that is doing research precisely on that subject. The (semi) anonymaty that internet allows is a great escape for anger and frustration. In fact, his results indicate that people who act like that are *normally* (but not always) the ones that have problems expressing themselves on a day to day basis, the ones who cannot defend their own point of view then, either because they don’t know how, or because they are subordinates to many other people... Anyway, like you, it always appalls me that people don’t understand that a blog is a personal place. It usually contains different opinions. Those should be used to make you think, not to make you bark. On my side, I must say that what I like about yours is exactly that: your blog makes me think. I don’t have to agree with you. I actually hope not to agree with everything you say. Maria, take this as a compliment: I live several km from you (in Portugal) and I don’t know you at all, except from this blog. But my attention was grabbed and that is great. :) Yup, that happens a lot. I think it’s because people (even including their nicknames or shortnames, or whatever) feel themselves anonymous.
