why are people assholes?

a tough question i know, many have tried to answer it and all the answers just seem to be lackluster. take today for example i was looking through the forums as i often do leaving comments here and there and i found a rp that i thought was pretty cool however they where full, so i went to the ooc and posted, "damn, it sucks when you find a rp that looks pretty awesome and its full, because its hard to find one that isn't half-decent." then the thread leader replied with "sucks doesn't it? Oh. And we're not "half-decent". We're the goddamn best." I though that was fair after all it was his rp so i said "wasn't trying to say this one was "half-decent". but many of the others are really shity." and then out of the blue he said "So's your spelling and grammar, buh-bye." maybe its just me but does that not seem kinda rude for a simple comment? i was just sitting staring at my monitor going wtf? what did I do to deserve that? idk i was considering asking him to let me know if a spot opened up, but now.... well enough about that, some people may see that as nothing, but i guess it felt like a sucker punch to my already low self-esteem. second thought anger i wanted to be an a** back, something along the lines of "this is an ooc. a comment that was intended only to state a point or a fact not wright a perfect, punctual paragraph, and really a spelling and grammar insult what er you five?" but you know that would make me feel worse so here I am, ranting to a journal that no one but me reads. sigh what an lonely boring life i live, alone in my room with my comp and a few people that i know only by their screen names......
