Writing v. speaking
Sometimes the spoken word is less offensive than the written word. In other words, something spoken somes across harshly compared to if it were in print. Also, in print, it is more one-sided than in normal conversation, during which you can interject comments. Also, no matter how carefully you try to write something, something printed tends to come across as lecturing at someone instead of just talking to him/her.
What I found enjoyable about the board is it represents the same cross-section of pilots, and personalities and maturity levels, that I knew when I was working. It comes across in their writings. Being anonymous might make people less inhibited in what they write. That may be a plus or minus, depending on the purpose of the post.
