I agree. One thing that I would like to add is that the internet (email, news groups, chat, etc.) have given many people the feeling of anonymity. And some people allow that feeling to shed their sense of decency thinking that they don't need to be as polite or conscientious of other people's feelings as when they are speaking on the phone or in person. As much as I like having the net around I do believe that it has had a negative affect on some aspects of society in varying degrees (if you are a naturally rude person then I think you would tend to be an extremely rude person on the net).
Just my 2 centavos. Howie P.S. someone mentioned that the amount of text that is quoted in replies here is a bit much - I agree. We should all snip out the parts that are irrelevant and especially the parts that someone else has left quoted in their reply. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nick Texidor" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, February 02, 2002 6:06 PM Subject: Re: This is just rich. > And people are becoming far less likely to admit they are wrong and be > able to apologise, replacing it with continued agression, and more > verbal attacks!! > > I'm sick of it...
