The decline in personal, face to face communications began in earnest
with the advent in the 1980s of bulletin boards and commercial services

such "communication" more accessible and portable.


I see virtually none of the foul behavior you mentioned on the moderated
boards I frequent for chatting and learning more about boating,
computers, smart phones. I see very little of it on FaceBook, but then,
I do pick and choose my friends there, and if I encounter someone who is
overly aggressive or foul-mouthed or insulting, I just drop that person.
