old news. There are always idiots on the internet.
If you ask me, there should be another category: Pretentious A$$-holes.
Pretentious *******s: People who consider their own words to be poetry and get off on typing essay length, meandering posts that often lead nowhere but to their own self aggrandization.

I just sort of randomly type stuff. I don't really feel empathy for anyone here because I have difficulty believing anything I write will hurt anyone's feelings.
And if I do.... holy cow, grow a thicker skin... or ignore me.

I think we're a little bit of everyone of these at certain times- except cyberbullying and cyberstalking is their own special animal- those are real issues and are more dangerous than trolling that you don't see too much on this forum. Although I'd say that the stuff going on between the Abel haters and Abel would fit the definition of cyberbullying and stalking.
forum behaviors;
if the posters know one another in real life, or make acquaintence in person/real life.
then responses in posting would be more cordial or polite.
I frequent several Chinese forums
there are heated comments about me in several threads,
however, there are very polite and based on what they know;
b/c they know me in person.
--
a lot of posts are knee jerk response from finger typing.
just at the heat of the moment
so not taking them too seriously and move on to the next topic or thread.
--
if it is too heated, some would come out and defuse and post something totally unrelated and redirect the attention of everyone.
--
sense of humor, a lot of time, just laugh them off.
