I think texts and emails and posts, in general, have become such a big part of people’s lives that we are missing a lot. Without facial expressions or body language, communication is hindered. Dry humor has always been lost on some, but now more people (in real life too) seem to go around loaded for bear.

There have always been people who are like that — always ready to take umbrage. There is a very old expression, “That person goes around with his ass on his shoulder.” (I just think there are more such types though than when I first heard that description — a really long time ago.)
