Do tell . .

People tend to lose their manners, be openly crass as there is a feeling amenity (fun factoid one of the east Asian countries its either Korea or Japan teaches online etiquette in elementary school and they are best behaved online populace)
All of which is too apparent. There are occasions where even visiting forums expressly designed to be informative and helpful for things like programming languages decay into animosity and belligerence.

Yea I see that at the "R" forums and we are all there just to work out bugs and get code and help each other with others issues the worst part is when PHDs rip apart some poor undergrad or lay user

Why in the world must people do that? The truly brilliant also seem to be the most generous of their time and in contributing useful, simple aid to others but the majority are petty, mean-spirited and dismissive. It is detestable.
