Why Do People Feel The Need To Be Rude On Thaivisa

Almost entirely male, middle-aged and absolutely convinced that they have the answers to the questions which baffle the nation's economists and lawmakers.

I love it on TVF when economists from all sides of the argument get it with both barrels from blokes existing from hand to mouth every month.

Oliver Blanchard and Kenneth Rogoff - <deleted> do they know? Pass another Chang, no make that a Leo. Chang's a bit pricey.....

From the screenplay for 'The Sting' (Paul Newman & Robert Redford):

JH: I gave him the breakout just like you said.

HG: And?

JH: 'S good. He threatened to kill me.

HG: Hell, kid, they don't do that, you know you're not getting to 'em.

If someone on TV feels the need for a pejorative towards me, I know that I'm making progress.

Actually we should all turn the forum on open the times and like a tube passenger never say a word to anyone. that way no one is rude.

I used to get on with a bottle of whisky filled with Irn Bru and swig from it frequently.

Always had a few seats to myself.

here you would have everyone next to you demanding a swig.

This is probably why the bar-scene, no matter where you go is so civilized. Hardly anyone would engage a 220 pound Farang into a major discussion if your own weight is only 80 pounds.

Internet is different: Arnold Schwarzenegger, in his younger days could be seriously insulted, without him having the chance of giving the "Insultor" at least a bloody nose.

Internet warriors know this.

Cheers.

think you answered your self key board warriors who can do it hiding behind their computers, or sat back in home country bored with life and bad weather living on there own, hacked off because they are not here living their perceived dream

There is a lot of truth in this statement, Mr. Cool.

IMO: People become impolite on the internet because they are powerless at keyboard, the rudeness is a manifestation of their frustration.

Some will try and impose their views on others rather than rely on articulate an intelligent debate.

I suspect this comes down to a lack of patience, weaker education and for the most part the fact that a keyboard is impersonal. Its often difficult to get emphasis or a point across without using bold or CAPITAL, perhaps these people lack diction.

That said, some posters simply can't read and dealing with them in an interesting debate is often frustrating. I see numerous posts where people simply don't get the bigger picture and use minor points to win rather than offer something useful to the discussion.

The main issue I see is that when an ego outshines a persons intelligence, it's destructive in any web forum.

An additional point: On some of the forums its highly entertaining to see some of the posters make idiots of themselves in keyboard battles rather than simply reply once and walk away... A few posters a famous for their inflexibility to see the views of others, a few others have such extreme or myopic view points they draw ridicule on themselves.

I find it better they take on their frustrations here than get into a bar fight over something trivial. I´ve seen plenty of bar fights because the persons involved had a disagreement on politics and how one would define a prostitute. I mean if people can´t really converse then why do they think it´s gonna be better after a couple of beers?

We can always agree to disagree and that doesn´t make us rude... name calling and personal insults does.

Agreed Mr. Maxme but being a gentleman is important as wel

True, but the fact is that there are those who are strong and there are those who are weak. There are those who do and those who don´t.
