You see people say things in the anonymity of cyberspace the same way they do under their breath in a fit of anger or other strong emotion. Sometimes its sort of pointless debating such comments on these types of actions as they are not what we do in public in general except for the most uncouth.

As such it amounts to a solution to a problem that is not present.

OTOH, there are some, a few, who are abrasive all the time in real life and cyberspace. Likewise there is also a small element of truth in any stereotype, however its usually exaggerated. I think all of us have been guilty of misspeaking at one time or another. All we can do is strive to be better to each other and hope for the best. Sometimes that strife may indeed include calling out wrong or hateful speech or words.

Personally I try not to be combative. Life s too short. Just saying...
