Now, it IS a nuanced point to say that such angry displays against mothra are partly mothra's fault.
you haven't even read the threads have you?
here on the internet, bad habits can easily develop.
Again, half this board is filled with back and forth taunts between some people.
People dont devote their time and energy to something which they are not getting a reward from.
And the ego wants to be noticed, so attention seeking is all about ego.
complaining is one of the egos favourite strategies for strengthening itself.
every complaint is a little story the mind makes up which it completely believes in.
Some egos which dont have much else to identify with, can identify with complaining alone.
You are then applying negative mental labels to people.
You are failing to recognise "their" humanity.
Name calling is the crudest form of such labelling and reflects the egos need to be right and to have a little triumph over another.
"jerk, prick, bitch" - all are just a pronouncement that cant be argued with.
Go one level down into deeper unconsciousness and you have shouting and screaming.
One level deeper and you have physical violence.
Luckily, as i say, on the internet we cant go much below labelling and name calling.
If there was an emoticon for screaming or physical violence, i'm sure it would not take long to be used
