There seems to be an entirely new psychology surfacing on all the forum sites I've been on for the past few years. (Aviation, cars, bikes, religion,science, whatever...) The "Facebook" generation has gone to full disclosure. They don't have any sense of what is appropriate anymore or that what they post is going to be seen by thousands of people. Or to be more direct about it, they don't care.
There is someone with a mildly obscene name on a US forum who flames on the religion forum. Every third or fourth post is his. He does this all day long. They can't or won't get rid of him because they always seem to fall for his attacks.
I think this is only the tip of the iceburg. This site is a good deal more polite than most. Just look around. Pretty soon it'll be like being in a restaurant, hearing (or reading) all sorts of things you really, really didn't want to know about. Maybe we should get that rig from "Tommy"
"Put on your eyeshades, put in your earplugs, you know where to put the cork." But we're gonna have to take it.
