Small Electronic Courtesies ?

   I am surprised, but perhaps I should not be, by some of the venomous  " commentary" that passes for conversation on the Internet. This is a medium where it seems all to easy to attack someone personally rather than respond intelligently and credibly to what they are posting. The classically noble action to avoid adhominem attacks seems to not be treasured on the 'Net!

 Yet, Would such people respond with insult and slander to people they have face to face contact with? Not likely!!!! Why not actually exchange ideas, express positively and in a motivating fashion your disagreements and counter-proposals and strive for more engaging , stimulating and productive meetings of the mind?

 I am sadly coming to the conclusion that some people are not capable of  this type of dignified engagement or perhaps are simply just too lazy to be willing to make the effort!
