Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums?

It’s the world we live in. People like to hide behind the relative safety of a computer screen. It’s similar to the those that feel invincible when drunk and learn the hard way that drinking doesn’t make them bigger. I wonder just how many would act the same in person. Things seem to have exponentially gotten worse after COVID. I have wondered if the virus didn’t alter some yet undiscovered things in the human brain!  There are a couple of sites that I have abandoned just because they become a source of stress instead of pleasure because of it. Some aren't properly policed and others can be overly monitored calling you out for petty violations. Life’s too short for that.

Another question would be:

Have we lost civility and respect in general?

Seems to me it's been that way for a few decades all over the internet. All about anonymity. 

It’s a question I often think about and if it’s really different or if it’s easier to notice in the Information Age. 
 

I don’t know the answer and I do know being nice is a luxury we can all afford. Especially if we can afford to look at online for😳
