[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually find DCUM pretty mild mannered, particularly for an anonymous board that attracts people with a range of cultural and political views.  Personally I'm not into engaging in name calling, or even serious arguing online, but I will post satirical responses-and I make the same kind of satirical remarks to people IRL.  If I find that a thread is turning ugly and unfunny, I click away, but those threads are fairly easy to spot and avoid.

I'm often curious about posters on DCUM who constantly complain that others aren't nice or polite.  For me, the top qualities I'm looking for in other posters are smart, funny, informative, and interesting.  Nice and polite are qualities that are fairly low on my list.  I do try to avoid evil and psycho, which is why I now longer read comments online comments for newspapers-they always seem to attract the worst kind of trolls, but DCUM definitely is not at that level.[/quote]

I'd have to agree with this.  For the most part, the participants of DCUM can construct reasonable arguments, write in coherent sentences, and are generally educated.  That's not the case with online commentary on a lot of sites, even those that require log in names.  I don't really care if people are being nice, I care if their intellectual capacity is at least college level, and shows.....[/quote]
