I'm not saying this is any kind of excuse for cruel behaviour, but i feel in general there's a difference between meanness and people just having their own personal ways of replying/supporting. Sometimes i get scared to reply to people because i get worried i will be accused of having a certain attitude when that's not the case - that's just my reply style. If people were to be specific about the kind of reply they want (if they have a preference or find certain things useful) then i will try hard to be mindful of that in my reply or just avoid replying.
Has it always been like this? I think so. There are a lot of individual personalities here.
However if something's flame-y it should always be reported.
