Why are MP users/climbers/posters so damn sensitive, knit picking, argumentative.

So far it doesn't cease to amaze me how much people on here bicker back and forth! This recent Dan Osman thread went from celebrating a talented climber to completely off topic, name calling and simply opinions not related and no one cares about. Normally I just read on but keep shaking my head and wondering. This trend seems far to common on here. Recognizing people can hide behind the anonymity of the computer, type A personalities and some people just being "bitches"... what gives people?

What's wrong with you? This is bullshit. I disagree with something.

There, I feel better now.

You should put "and" between knit picking and argumentative.

Also, it's "nitpicking"

Shouldn't there be a hyphen between "name" and "calling"?

This is common across all internet forums and all interests. I even saw the same in a quilting forum my retired friend showed me. It ain't no how restricted to MP.

The gun forums and truck forums I browse most posters are decent most of the time. Same of mtbr.com

Climbers seem to be the only Internet badasses

I have no dog in this fight, but I'll butt in with nonsense.

I just really love my opinions....

Everybody here is in a shitty mood because they're sitting at their computers when they want to be climbing.

At least that's what I assume is the cause.
