Because this generation doesn't understand what self control is much less how to enact it. Most act like douche bags because it is the "cool kid" thing to do and when they get called out on it they further spiral into such acts. Who is to blame? It's not the game. It's not SE who made the game the way they thought it should be made. It's not the people who these remarks and actions are directed at. It is the morons who think it is their lot in life to "try" and make fools of those they disagree with. Thing is they only make fools of themselves and what is sad is they don't think so. They believe that they are doing something constructive and when that notion fails them they throw a tantrum exclaiming how everything is going to fall apart now because it isn't what they wanted.

It really boils down to simplicity in human thinking. People will try to "lord" themselves over others because they feel they can and when it doesn't work they resort to the tactics of a toddler. Simply put, people like the person you were responding to are part of the problem, not the solution. However you will never convince them of that.
