What you describe is simply human nature.
Some people feel they have to put someone else or their equipment down to bolster their own false ego.
I feel it happens far less here than any other board I visit.Maybe the problem lies with you as much as the offending posters.
Perhaps you are to thin skinned or slightly over sensitive to this?
Follow Ups:
Apparently their skin was too thin too. So how thick must this skin be and who decides the correct thickness? Internet BB's are full of people who think that normal ettoquette is unnatural. Why is that? And why is it that when someone points out an offense, someone comes along and says something about being too "thinned skinned"? Where were you at when they said I was over the top when I reacted in kind to another poster? Why didn't anyone tell them they should have thicker skin?

apples and not apples...thin skinned is when you are overly sensitive..thick skinned is the opposite to that. It does not mean projecting your insecurities and perceived injustices onto another person...that would be "over the top."
Why is the courtesy/civility that is expected in everyday life suspended on an internet BB? It is done daily. So in the absence of societal norms, who deems someones actions as "over the top"? You say my statements were over the top. However I can assure you that 5 yrs ago when I first started posting the language and attitudes of this board today would have been considered "over the top" by the majority then.

I guess we all have to make those decisions for ourselves..there may be an evolving asylum community standard(shrug)
