Much like with reality and the way the kids (unbelievable I actually get to say that at my tender 27y) these days behave when you meet them in person, I am not surprised the internet is like this...
What baffles me are people older than me acting like spoiled brats or like their sole purpose in life is to make others feel inferior to their totally hardcore achievements. /shrug
In any case... as much as we would like everyone to be friendly or at least stfu sometimes... society is bad, the internet is worse and there is no turning back. Developing morals and manners is the responsibility of parents, teachers and society and can't be done within the anonymity of the internet. (vote-to-kick for the internet? no?)
Sorry pal, I feel your pain. Throw me a friendly /wave if we ever meet in DF, I'll /wave back.
