I've seen this kind of intriguingly rude behaviour
on several
wikis, but not at all in another project of mine, where e-mail is
the primary form of communication. Maybe the offender thinks he
is talking to a machine, just like he would kick a soda vending
machine or hit a television set that loses sync. Could we make
wikis look more like a community of real people? How?
I suspect this is the sort of person who thinks it's all ones and zeroes
and if it's on the Internet it doesn't count as interaction with real
people.
