People attack the person, not the subject matter or the points of the story. It's a say commentary on our society and the cowards that hide behind their monitors saying things they wouldn't have the guts to say face to face.

In real life these maniacs are probably too scared to flag down a waitress in a restaurant to ask for more water. But look out on the message boards! :) RM Matt:

I learned a lot of psychology in those years. Joe - I'm not one for quotes, but I must admit I like the Abraham Lincoln quote. I may just have to remember that one.

And lots of frontal personalities. Easy to go frontal when you're sitting in your keeping room typing on a laptop! Too easy for some. Rob Matt:

I used to be a little more brash and confrontational about things I believed in until I started traveling. There I learned that there are a lot of different opinions out there. Once I knew that, I was able to accept it and learn from them. Jay - I should just erase my post and replace it with your story. That's an excellent example of what I'm talking about. Sure, you both will probably never think exactly the same, but you can relate and agree on different levels. I bet a lot of people that wanted to join the conversation with pitchforks and spite thought twice about joining the fray when they knew you had some good points. I've actually had some people stop by my blog for some stories I did about KB Homes. There is a group in San Antonio that are very much anti-KB and they wanted to get their message across. I simply explained what I knew, thought and had heard and before long I wound up speaking to a few of them on the topic. They were all very educated, ready to state their case, but never confrontational. I enjoyed it and learned a few things. We didn't disagree on the total issue, but we had a great conversation.

Do this blogging thing long enough, and all sorts of people will come out. A couple of years ago, I "engaged" with a "bubble blogger" who had a rep of getting very nasty with agents. What I found after a few <i>somewhat</i> heated exchanges (heated, but very civil) was that the guy was actually pretty dang smart, and had some reasonable arguments. I think he felt the same about me. We didn't attack each other, we attacked the points we each were making. I remember people telling me all the "bubbleheads" would descend on TPREG and rip me to shreds. That never happened. We debated openly and honestly, and we learned from each other. Pretty cool stuff!
