Yesterday on one of the Asylum topic forums the Bored found it necessary to step in to remind posters to remain civil to one another. Unfortunately, this problem seems to have become more frequent lately.
Some sports related sites I've seen can become really bad but not all hobby related sites are so insulting and vulgar. Just a few days ago I read an online review of the new Fiat Abarth, a subject I was certain would elicit very mixed comments. This is what I found, with unedited quotes -

So I must wonder, would it be that difficult for some posters here to exercise a similar level of civility?
