it doesn't hurt to be polite...even if we are online.... our good manners should not be excluded just because people can't see us.

I did that on my last question so that I could be taken seriously. People that come here often know that I am a Satanic Atheist and without that disclaimer, probably would've just been rude. I get thumbs-down all the time just because people don't like what I am. So I figured slapping that on there would get better responses. And it did.

I suspect it's because some people recognize that in a global network like this, they may be entirely ignorant to what some people might deem appropriate or offensive. I think that is a way of saying "I'm asking a question and not sure if it's offensive (i.e. I may be an ignoramus but not hateful)" to differentiate themselves from those that make knowingly inflammatory questions or statements but are probably more intelligent and worldly.

Why is this in the religion and spirituality section? The disclaimer people put on the bottom of their messages are doing so to be funny, nothing more.

To answer your statement, only those people who do not know themselves place a disclaimer on their statements and/or questions, in other words, a loser! My dad always says the only dumb question is one you don't ask. Good one!

Well its to state that you are not meaning to be insulting or bashing. I know that I have to be clear to users that I am not bashing or criticizing but just asking. That is why I do it, to make sure the reader understands where I come from and that they are not assuming things.

I agree, but I think society has implanted that on our brains in daily conversation and as many people write their questions and answers in a conversational manner that is just how it comes out.

Yeah people are afraid of being offensive. Say what you need to say and don't apologize, but people shouldn't be abusive when someone's opinion doesn't jive with theirs. But, in turn, I think you can be firm and stand for what you believe in without being hateful and venomous.

Maybe because we have common courtesy. No disclaimer here, I am assuming that you are friendless, and jobless.
