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.
I'm not convinced such people would even realize there were real people
on the other side of a face-to-face discussion -- at least, not any
really meaningful manner.
