Actually, a lot of my job in real life is addressing and redirecting that kind of behavior. Also, I have some personal experience that makes it painful for me to witness outright attacks on others.
The tough part is that responsibility for our actions comes only through a slow and steady process. Also, the definition of rude can vary considerably from individual to individual, so you kind of have to pick and choose your fights.
For me, I usually step in if one of these issues are at stake:
- Someone attacking someone else for being a N00b. Learning is important to me and you have to start somewhere. Calling someone a N00b is as bad as saying "Don't Ask Questions." I feel you should always ask.
- Sexual Harrassment. I feel very strongly about this, mostly because, yes, I'm not very pretty in real life and if I ever said some of the stuff people say on here, I'd get canned, sued and maybe even jailed. I kind of think of stepping in to stop male chauvinist, female borderline or just plain grossly inappropriate sexual conduct as a way of levelling the playing field.
- Elitism. I just... really hate people who either want to hog everything for themselves ('cause they saw it first) or who use some media concept, ideal or social trend to put on airs. I mean, really! Grrrrr! That cheeses me off and it's hard NOT to say something.
In all these cases, I try to say something constructive, if I can... but if I post too fast, I'm afraid it will be as negative as if I'd been the original aggressor.
