It is yet another bad side effect of social media to include texting and chatting on forums. Not only has grammar, spelling and punctuation taken a HUGE hit, but the impersonal aspect of it causes people to say things they would NEVER say to another person's face. I am a firm believer in do unto others as you would have them do to you. We seem to have lost that feeling. Not only in general, but specifically on this forum. Some of the language towards others is uncalled for.
