Maybe we don't read the same board, but my impression is that - with some honorable exceptions - many of the most aggressive and childish posts are from people (or rather, so we are supposed to believe, from their board personas), who are promoting something. Admittedly I never paid any attention as to whether they are working for themselves or someone else.
I only hold back to the extent that I know when I start typing that I am likely wasting my time. But when I do write, I say exactly what I think. It's natural for me to only rarely use bad language and I'm not often overtly rude to anyone, so I don't have to think about how I write.
There are plenty of ways to make money, in and out of this business. So I really don't think about the consequences of possibly offending someone. Truth be told, I'm not likely to do any business anyway with those I'm at risk of offending, so the issue doesn't really arise.
