A large part of the problem, a common one on these forums, is that some of us are unnecessarily snarky and rude to an OP if he doesn't present his case just the way you think it should be. Some people see this as an opportunity to make others suffer because they are having a bad day . . . or their lives are just miserable daily. Others see it as an opportunity to show they're smarter than the OP. Yes, there's lots of reasons some of us choose to be an antagonist, and then you get all butt hurt when the OP responds similarly. Some of you start stuff then play innocent. Have a little respect and understanding of others issues before you put on your troll police badge, or get all flippant, snarky or sarcastic . . . those characteristics aren't funny, they're rude, and they're the kind of behavior that drives some of our newer members away. If some people can be polite, like @
noglider's response above, why can't everybody?
