Humans communicate by using language and gestures. Animals communicate by grunts and threatening or loving actions.
Just like every other place, etiquettes make you look more polished, sophisticated, and mature. people would feel more comfortable interacting with you, connect with you, and would be more likely to recommend you to others.
Good netiquette is no different from the way you interact with people in everyday life. Even if you are angry and the recipient of what you have to say is unknown to you, remember you are communicating with a real person with real feelings. If you are answering a question, remember that it may be a teaser (set up) question to try to draw you into something that may sound bad.
Yes, we do have people who have lots of time to generate controversial questions from their keyboards. If the question disturbs you and you feel the need to answer, be polite, be considerate, and try not to offend the writer or other readers. Put your point of view across but let the other person have the chance of an honorable defeat if you are presenting your point of view. However never try to force somebody to accept what you write.
If you will not say it to their face, then don’t write it on the internet at all unless it is humor. The internet is not just a place for a great social gathering – it is a place where others may post discoveries from their original research, answers to things we have never heard of, a place we can freely learn and share our thoughts and experiences even if some experiences are of the personal nature.
