I've been noticing the same sort of behaviour that you're talking about. And while I don't know the cause, I don't think that it's caused by trolls or bots. Instead I'm guessing a few potential factors:
This is already a rather large wall of text and I'm trying to be succinct, but feel free to ask further reasoning on any of those points.
Disclaimers to avoid replies to this comment that would exemplify it
I'm aware that I'm not exactly "gentle" towards users showing stupidity, thus being part of the problem, and in no moment I even implied to be "above" it.By "stupid" I'm clearly referring to able people who behave in an irrational way. I am not talking about disabled people. In fact "the stupid" is better seen as a set of user behaviours than as a specific group of people.
Very good points, thanks for sharing.
Good points. Thanks. I see your comment as very reflected and although pretty honest (which is generally frowned upon here I guess) its not mean imo. I like it.
