I'm curious. Why though? What does it get you when you call people names or have this kind of attitude? Does it feel good or something?
Mate, you're the one trying to enforce some prudish seppo standards about language etiquette onto others. Why would I do anything but not consider that a miserable existence, and thus call it out?
"Enforce" implies I am coercing you to be a bit more friendly online. I am merely suggesting it for future interactions, and maybe we can start to do something together about the subject of the video that was posted here and make the Internet just a bit more tolerable for all.
