You're right about virtual discussions providing a more insulation--and it is interesting how people's basic intent can come across. A place that provides a kind environment feels safe to share more.

Yet on the main board and many other forums, there is a lot more chaos--being caused by interference of respectful discourse....to me it is immature to stoop to such tactics as disruption. Yet that is another result of how intention and focus can get derailed in a 'big room' or public place--and the world at large--when people are not kind to each other. In that case this same insulation makes people say things they may not say in a face to face discussion.
