Personality differences exist in both real life and on the net. Big surprize. And LOL one the consept of "Projection" which as hopefully most already know when you say something about others which is true about your self. I think Shakespear understood the consept with the "You protest to much" statement.
Much of our conflict can be out of personality types.
Reds (just do it types) and Oranges or Golds the organized types are going to have clashes on the net just as they do in real life.
As well as the "always right" greens and the "can't we just get along" blues.
We all have some of each personality type in us.
Just as we can all probably be a tad trollish at times.
