In the heat of debate, why do some of you feel the need to behave like a jerk or be disrespectful to get your point across?
I've been in heated debates, while I occasionally resort to sarcasm or snark either to get my point across or to inject humor, I do my best to maintain a level of respect for the person with which I'm engaged.
I wonder why others here struggle to do the same. Would you walk up to someone on the street and speak with someone the way you do here? I'm sure some of you would have your bell rung for the lack of respect you display here if you displayed such in real life.
Is it because you have a degree of anonymity here?
Does behaving like a jerk to others somehow make you feel better about yourself?
