Getting upset on the internet

[wart57]

I hate getting pissed about what somebody wrote. I should know better than to let other people comments bother me.

A lot of times people write things online that they probably wouldn't say in person, so in that sense I can actually understand getting ticked on occasion. It's just too easy to be condescending or arrogant when you know the exchanging of text comments on a message board will be the extent of the interaction between you and your internet foe (for most of us, anyway).

I definitely make a concerted effort not to hold grudges, however. I've certainly made some "snarky" comments before (that seems to be a popular word around here lately), and others have been mean to me , but I tend to forget about heated exchanges quickly. There are many good conversations to be had at GRB, and being angry only holds me back.
