I believe a word was missed out at a crucial point so I'm also struggling with the point. (The caps are for clarity with my request, not some kind of slap down! I'm genuinely interested).

Missing word was "after". My dyslexia has failed me yet again.

Ah well, all cleared up, and I think that you're right. I would definitely say that a good proportion of those who do begin a particular conversation with vitriol have probably had several other conversations on the same topic in other places and they decide to save everyone time by getting to the "end" of the conversation quicker.

Not always but mostly, I'd say.
