Grumpy Online People

Something I’ve noticed on-line these days is how harshly some people respond to articles and blogs. They seem unconstrained by manners, consideration of feelings, or reasoned thought If an article (for article read blog or any other type of post) differs from their point if view, or suggests a technology is better than the preferred one, then their immediate response is to post text that is abusive or derogatory, rather than structured or considered debate. No doubt this is enabled by the anonymity of the Web, but also by the fact that they are able to respond immediately.

Ah well. It takes all sorts to make a world
