They obviously weren't taught any manners. I believe it's also a way for them to feel superior over other people.

I agree. It also hinders discussions here on DU.

Now if I see an important mistake, I'll PM the other person and gently let them know because I was brought up with tact and manners.

Please know that we're all not like that, Wifes husband.
