I realise that this website is full of people looking to be offensive
but you would think that on a professional forum people would think twice about what they sent out in e-mails to hundreds of strangers.

I just tried to post a technical question on an e-mail list and for some reason the text of my message didn't get sent. I realised this after getting 2 responses.

One just said "???????" and the other said "What is your problem?"

Now, I think the second reply actually meant "What is the problem you are having as your message header simply implied that you were experiencing some kind of problem", but why don't people think about what they write as simply getting a message from a stranger saying "what is your problem" comes across as a little bit offensive.

Why are people such fucking twats when it comes to communication?

Because we are too busy thinking about breasts.

I've discovered that sitting on the sofa at night with my hand down my cleavage is quite relaxing.

One of the group leaders I used to work with
was Greek, and I eventually had to have a quiet word with her and point out that constantly signing her emails "Thanks a bunch" was probably going to be construed as somewhat sarcastic.
