I think it's the written word vs the in person discussion. Somehow a lot is lost with the written word. Someone may say something totally as a joke or poking fun. When you read it, it sounds like they are on the attack. If they said exactly the same thing with a smile and a laugh, you would interpret it entirely different. The same book read by 10 different people will have 10 entirely different views of the hero or villain.

I have taken to reading my replies through completely before hitting the submit button. And even then sometimes the meaning becomes skewed.

So yes there are a few bad apples who immediately jump on someone when they disagree with them and there are those who can't type an answer to someones question without making a joke of it, but all in all it's a really nice bunch of people. So I try to give just a little slack to some now and then. But even that doesn't always work.
