I don't understand all of the vitriol that lingers in all types of message boards. It's difficult to gauge any member's real intentions toward other members. You always see them say "kill yourself", or "you're a smurf/asshole/et al. I can't tell if they're blowing off steam by playing a character on the boards or it they're really like that. I'm just as guilty of being a douche online too. Sometimes message boards mirror junior high. Not because of maturity levels,(although that is a factor), but because of cliques that appear and e-pat each other on back and engage in what Gorilla Monsoon used to call the Mutual Admiration Society.
