"Communication based on respect is a lost art"

I think it's always been a little dodgy on the Internet, tbh. I recall highly contentious flamewars on Usenet back in the day. Possibly there is a difference between greybeards who perceive that style of communication as being natural and normal and a younger generation who don't. Even on this comment board, you can see a schism between people who think that civil communication is valuable and the people who think those people are a bunch of fucking pussy snowflakes.
