I am a real person, and this is how I talk and write irl. See, this is why I think it's a cultural, class, upbringing divide. And my dialect rubs people up the wrong way and they start projecting thi...

Sounds like a goad. But is that what you think best for me to do, or do you think I'd be better to either leave or change my tone?

Not really. It's the same even if I never post and just lurk. Mostly it just indicates that rude people tend to dominate forums because non-rude people leave. I'm starting to wonder if rude Interne...
