So just because one isnt acting as one would act IRL, you deem all this communication meaningless? And that there arent persons behind it?

Not the conversations themselves only the name calling. I haven't said that there could not be meaningful conversations or discussions on fora.Quote:

I take that as that you wont agree on the point that there are real persons behind the account. If there arent, the discussions/conversations wont be meaningful.
Or are you saying, that just because i am impolite, i aint human?
But to go back to your original point. Namcalling.
I would say that it depends on what kind of namecalling. Calling someone ugly is really irrelevant. But calling someone stupid/noob/incompetent (concerning i.e. Utopia) isnt. Those are all characteristics that are related to your appearance on the web, a part of your personality, and thus no less meaningless that namecalling IRL.
like i call my self a nub. i think its fair enough.
Someone read what you type, and tell me, typing the way you do, what impression do you think you send to people?
My appearance/politeness has nothing to do with anything right here right now.
I am not talking specifically to you Someone. My statements were meant for the general audience.
You didnt :) Vines, however, did.
vines, please answer my question.
