The CP tradition of attacking people who are seeking support from the community rather than bothering to read through their posts to understand the message behind the words is particularly grating right now. I know it's unlikely, but I really wish that instead of rushing out to tear people down with a snarky, smug, condescending reply to highlight how much of a jerk or how uninformed or how stupid the other poster is, that people went into a thread assuming that others are intelligent, kind adults who are seeking assistance on matters they are relatively unknowledgeable in.
The 'shoot first, get the most thanks' mentality just really seems to be getting to me. If an issue hits too close to home for you to post at people in a helpful, informative spirit, maybe you shouldn't be hitting "reply".
