People should be allowed to be in a bad mood and say things they don't mean every now and then. We should have a certain degree of tolerance for that. But we are quickly losing that tolerance. In typical real-life social interactions (work, family, etc.), I'd agree with you. The problem is given the ephemeral nature of online interactions, it's tough to maintain cohesiveness between every SINGLE person you interact with, because you interact with so many, and the vast majority of them you know very little besides their immediate communication at that moment, so there's a tendency to make quicker judgments. In the end, you're basically getting hundreds of first impressions at once in an online social interaction (like CE), and they're the ones that will stick. And even then, there are always going to be SOME things in life where, even in a real world situation, saying a certain thing will stick with people forever. I would never remove the onus from the person *saying* the thing and put it on the people *hearing* the thing. We should always be responsible for ourselves, bad days or no. --- CyricZ ...
