But along with information the individual now has the opportunity to express oneself to a world audience. Its just sad that so many people either mistake rudeness for self expression (empowered by the anonymity of the internet) or lack the imagination to explore the world of language and how it can help define who we are. The internet is still pretty young and mabey at some point a more mature attitude will develop...(rant over...)

Agreed 100%.
Though I doubt it will improve much. Humans always showed the most ugly sides of their personality, hiding behind the anonymity of a mask, a vail or a uniform. Same for primates, btw.
So I guess it comes down to the individuals personality to be pleased with a half-filled glas or shout and scream because it's half-empty. The later are not the majority though, just the ones that shout the loudest and the most often...
