> It’s common sense on how to behave in a civil manner
I am frequently surprised by how lacking many technical professionals are in EQ/soft skills/civility -often I observe people who apparently believe that their skill is such that they don’t need to treat their peers with respect. This isn’t anomalous; it’s widespread.
[Conjecture/opinion] I believe that many people who enter software development and related fields are high on the autism scale- eg aspergers, etc., and that many such people are unaware of how badly that they’re treating others. It’s not “common sense” for many.

This isn’t anomalous; it’s widespread. I personally think that terseness is actually polite since it wastes a lot less time for both sides.
