Excellent point about younger people reacting differently from adults, too. And besides that, whether a 12 year old can handle the snark and rudeness well or not shouldn't even matter, because if you're an adult, shouldn't you have better things to do with your time than pick on preteens/teenagers and make them feel like shit to begin with? The 12 year old may or may not be oversensitive, but they're still more mature in the end than the supposed adult who can't seem to act their age.

You're also right that tone can be VERY tough to tell sometimes over the internet, too, and even if a person means well, and snark is just their particular way of communicating, like you said, not everyone knows that.

I know that some people have that rule that they don't say things in cyberspace they wouldn't say to someone's face, and I think that should apply to everyone's internet conduct. We may not be able to see who we're talking to, but there's still real people on the other side of the screen and they should be treated the way you'd treat anyone you interacted with in person. I don't get why that's that hard for some people to do.

Hell,I misread comments online every other day. It's become a habit for me to show something to my friends and be like "am I the only one bugged by this" or "am I reading this wrong?" before replying.

I think a lot of people have gotten used to a certain amount of freedom from social rules of politeness online, and start to take it for granted.
