So do most people behave very differently on forums then in real life? I am the same in both, but maybe that just shows that I am old. Is 40 old for this site?

Yes, people act much differently on the internet due to it's anonymity. For example, I'd never say my comment "welcome to the internet, sir" in real life becuase I'd sound like an asshole. But on the internet where people make derogatory comments every other sentence, I sound relatively mild.
"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."

Because the people who make for great debates tend to stick in the off-topic sections in the political and economical threads.
People are stubborn. They don't have to sacrifice their opinion or arguments for people to put up with them on the internet like they do in real life.

People are not stubborn. Their opinions are.

The reward my friend is silent in the wind. Even handed intelligent posting does have its rewards. You are heard if not recognized. Remember that lurkers make up the bulk of the readers. So even if your not being told your making good points. Your probably making a good point to somebody even if they are not responsive. So do not let them get you down.
Why do fellow posters behave idiotically. Well as in all human behavior if the response is positive then people will continue to do it. Unless they actually have a moral code they try to adhere to. Generally high minded posters try to post well out of a sense of self respect or a sense of accomplishment. They actually want to grow and want to contribute. This world is filled with the proverbial grasshopper and far too few ants. Sadly winter never seems to come does it.
My best advice is to ignore the idiots, and fawn on the geniuses. That is like starving the troll and feeding the valiant knight. Praise good posts, and good posters. Make it a point to respond to their posts, and ignore the gibberish. The best therapy in the end however is just to ignore them and focus on what you are saying. Intelligent people pass over idiotic shit, and move to the meat of any thread.
