The anonymity of the internet has given way to apathy, no accountability or consequences, and bad attitudes.

The point is, what is unimportant to you, might deeply affect others. Words can and do hurt.
I'm the type who refuses to "sugarcoat" things. I say it as I see it. And yes, my words might hurt, and if i've said something false and been proven wrong, I'll admit that. But if I have to lie to avoid hurting someone's feelings, I won't. I'll tell the truth, or just not speak to them. But I still understand others who feel i'm wrong, or rude or an asshole. I disagree with them, but I can understand the mindset quite easily.
