[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm really astounded that so many people are drawing conclusions about entire groups of people based on some comments on an anonymous Internet board. Does no one else think that's very odd?[/quote]

OP here, that is exactly the reason why I started this thread.  I think that DCUM has changed the way I see people similar to what others have stated. I am surprised about what people will say and the beliefs they have about others. Even if these people are posting anonymously it is still sometimes shocking that there are so many people who hate dogs, or criticize working moms with such animosity. I have also learned some interesting things here, definitely a strange community to be a part of that is for sure![/quote]

Im the PP you quoted and I still don't see how DCUM has changed anyone's perception about people as a whole. Is it not clear to everyone that the population of people who post on DCUM is a small self-selected slice of the total population? And that the way people act in an single anonymous posting is not equal to the way that that person really is or even what they really think?  Or even that the percentage of people with inflammatory postings I personally have experienced to be less than the postings that are expressing normal opinions (which may or may not be in agreement with your opinion, but it doesnt make that person's opinion inflammatory just because it's different) with as much politeness or more than you would expect out of someone responding anonymously to a very short description of an issue or question?  I continue to be very surprised that people aren't thinking about DCUM from these angles. [/quote]
