Why?

[Daenerys_Sedai]

People are generally kind human beings in-person, but:

1) this is the internets!
2) this is a forum on the internets!
3) this is a forum on the internets that allows one to post anonymously/behind game character/not tied to real life

The internet forums, newspaper comments (where comments are anonymous (i.e., not tied to FB)), and youtube comments are where humanity ends.

Sad stuff really

Which is why people raised hell when a company dared to try to take that anonymity out of posting on their forums because it means people can't act like...well...
