Why is it?

Have you ever gotten nasty messages from people on a forum?
Everywhere I go, it seems that things like that are always popping up.
If it's not messages, it's always a topic that slanders.
It happens mostly on sites that talk about PTC's or the actual ptc forum.
In this case, it's on a forum attached to a ptc site that's been down for a while. There have been many problems plaguing the site, but the owner is determined that the site will be brought back for all users, and that everyone will be paid.
Well, one user who was banned for one reason or another on the forum decided to come back and start trouble on the site. I posted a reply to something, and this jerk got rude with me.
Then he sent me a message accusing me of lying about something. I reported him for his lewd comments and he fired back a message including a p*rnographic photo, which was absolutely disgusting and degrading.
Some people just can't learn how to grow up, they always think that being immature is the best thing in the world.
I m so tired of adults acting like children, especially when the act like children who don't know what they're talking about.

People acting like this happens every where. I try not to upset people if I can help it. I do understand that every one has a different opinion about things. I really do understand that. That is where maturity comes in. There is no need to start on any one or anything in a negative way.
I have seen a pair of 50 year olds act like little children. It is what they have done to me. Something happened, they deleted my contact details without telling me. I didn't know what happened. I called on of them and they said if I was online then they would chat to me and say hi, but they said I haven't been online when they have been online. I checked it and found they had lied to me, because they deleted my details. As they deleted my contact details, of course they wouldn't see me online. Then there was couple of comments I took offence to, (I won't repeat it here because it really was not nice and some accusations too) and it really hurt my feelings. I started acting childish too and told them the friendship was over. Then I thought hang on I am being childish and tried to work things out. I applogised for what I have done and wanted to rebuild the friendship because I thought it was a mature thing to do. Well I have not heard from them for 2 months since the last contact. I still want it sorted but I suppose the problem will never be resolved because they have been avoiding me.
So I ask, who is childish and who is mature in my case?

I can tell who's immature and who's not there.
The childish ones need to be kicked in the a$$ and told off.
The rude comments are unwarranted no matter how bad the situation is or how the other person deserves them. It's not right in real life, nor is it right online.
I can agree with you there. @chookie1971 (2271)

I can give you an update a year later. Out of the two 50+ year olds, I am talking to one of them. The one that has been a friend to me longer than the other. I am so glad that we have regular contact now but not often as before. But because of how sensitive that the other 50+ y.o. is, the contact I do have with my friend is sadly kept hush hush. But it is the only way we can keep in touch. We have set new boundaries so that we can work things out and rebuild a friendship.
Even though it is all kept hush hush. I am happy that we are working on rebuilding a friendship. It now shows maturity.
