...posts, and have experienced even worse from a few others. As a result of this, my commenting days on BBI will, unless directly solicited, be on Giants topics for the most part, with the addition of providing knowledgeable content where applicable.

Would that more posters come to an understanding of why they say the things they say.

Good post BMac, I've also noticed that in some of my posts. And for a while I was thinking everyone was afraid to post on this one :)

It's a good topic, but I suspect it won't draw those who need it most (except as snipers, of course ;O).

It isn't that this applies to a lot of people per particular site, either. After a while, it seems that a core group evolves, and then it's off to the downhill races. I don't know that I agree with the study's conclusions; the terms they use are awfully strong and are, I believe, very much an overstatement.

Over time, you can usually ID a few basic types who regularly demonstrate bullying, perceived intellectual authority, blind ideological reactionaries, etc. None of which, however, approach anywhere near sociopath status.
In answer to the opening question.

Two types are constantly posting, people who are shut-ins and those trying to justify their own existence.
River Mike Thank-you for sharing.

It's a timely article for me. Have been far to invested in some threads of late. The anonymous nature can easily allow one's behavior to slip. Just last night, was asking myself- what are you doing? With the weather great, I'm immersed in political threads?

So thanks for helping out in the intervention process!
