I noticed that unlike other countries of the world,that when it comes to forum activities and commenting in online communities other countries will rather treat others with respect and comment in very polite manner, but when it comes down here in Nigerian forums especially here in NL and other online communities, you will always see brime stones and thunders of insults being showered upon somebody even at the mention of A. I now begin to wonder if it is part of our culture or is that many are not cultured right from their home, because to me it makes no sense and most times these insults are uncalled for.

Oga OP,its not a nigerian thing.its prevalent in most online forums where people(mature nd immature) are allowed to rub minds nd share their views eg visit www.goal.com.
If membership is restricted by way of charges nd membership fees on nairaland.insults and unreasonable comments wld b,without doubt,the least of your problems.

It happens in all forums that discuss politics and religion, where people involved are from different backgrounds with respect to the aforementioned. I've only noticed the no-insult stance on career forums.
