I really cannot think of a time that adults were not upset about being called names. I do remember a time of greater civility. 

I agree we have become a giant society of wimps, but it most likely describes the person that is emboldened enough to call someone a name behind the safety of their keyboard.  I doubt many that have called me bigot, homophone, racist, ect... in this forum would do the same if we were to have a face to face discussion and it is not because I consider myself intimidating; it's just that courage would be harder to muster 

Depends on what you said to warrant it.  And not because I'm a tough guy but because I'd call a spade a spade.
