Messageboards...

Lemme just say that it's a very interesting dynamic "the messageboard". It's a place where people feel safe to say things that they otherwise wouldn't say to anyone in person. So long as they have their anonymity it's OK to bash and insult other people.

That said, I also think that a lot of posts are just taken too seriously and with the wrong tone. Since most people who write in messageboards are not seasoned writers, the majority do not have the ability to convey their feelings in words. They have no grasp of how to share with everyone else what their mood or voice is like when writing their posting, which is why they come off sounding mean when most likely they're being sarcastic and/or facetious.
