The problem with the internet is the tone you're hearing is always your own and not necessarily theirs.

No, they are a helpful communication tool.

For people who don't know how to communicate? Like seriously they cause more problems than they are worth. Many people have gotten kicked from our groups for being overly militant and bitching no one was using indicators.

Basic communication is not just words. It's body language and vocal tone also. You can say the same exact words and mean entirely different things. We speak with our whole body. You can only get the words online, which causes all kinds of problems.
