Maybe people have grown accustomed to exchanging text on line and via cell phones, and are more forgiving. Maybe we've gotten better at constructing the messages and avoiding misunderstanding. Maybe Web 2.0 is a richer medium, better able to communicate subtleties. Maybe there is so much out there that rather than stay and argue, people just withdraw. It does seem to me to be a lot harder now just to get a message through, and get people to pay attention, whereas with flaming maybe people were paying too much attention, reading too much into messages. I do agree too that a bigger problem these days is what's know as trolling.Lance Stratehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13033954765699126246noreply@blogger.com
