I always found it interesting how anonymity seems to bring out the worst in people, when with me it seems to have the opposite effect. In real life, I'm rather shy and withdrawn, yet still friendly and expressive among people I know. Online, especially in online games, I become friendly to everybody. Friends, strangers, everyone. It's had a real positive effect on my Internet experience: treat people with respect and courtesy, and people will respond in kind.
AS is a mature, good-natured community, so please, spread out my words of advice: Remember, there's a live person on a computer on the other side of your interactions. Please, think with empathy and be kind to everyone. Your actions, whether you realize it or not, could make or break someone's day.
