However, in my experience on rfc and other groups, NOT knowing
anything about someone is often just as much a cause of
misunderstandings as knowing. When posters take a dislike to
someone and suppute scenarios about their lives as though they
could read them like a book, they are often talking about
themselves and their own shortcomings.

Then there are the hypersensitive (and you know who you are) who go
off half-cocked with wild accusations when someone for example (no
names please) mentions they have not eaten deep dish pizza before
or any other such triviality they seem to think is a deep offense
to them. The only thing you can do is to laugh and consign them to
the bozo bin in perpetuity.
