Well I think that is a problem. Everyone includes trolls, help vampires and
others with anti social behaviour.

Why does this kind of response almost never seems to appear when someone is
behaving in an anti social manner but always when that anti social behaviour
has gone so far as to irritate a lot of people and do those coming with those
complaints seem to have a harder time allowing for the justified irritated
responses as they have with the original anti social behaviour.

Civility is over rated. You can show quiet some contempt in a civil manner.
Personnaly I prefer less civility in that kind of cases.

Well you can equally plonk people who don't think civility is something to
strive for at such a priority. Maybe you should at all costs resist
the urge to tell other people how they should react.
