Will things get better or worse or is incivility status quo?
Public discourse, Rich Hanley, Quinnipiac University associate journalism professor said, is “a huge chunk of civic society” but online discourse often devolves into “a cycle of rage people get caught up in.”
The rage, foul language and lack of empathy is nothing new, … and was clear in the early days of the internet. “The whole idea of free and open discussion, the great democracy of forums, but the rules of decorum and respect disappeared and became foul.”
