No one is the same online as in real life. There's always going to be differences in the discourse and the attitude level.
Giving some people access to newsboards and message forums is like giving a machinegun to a monkey high on crack. It's kind of funny, but you better get the hell out of the way.
And I get a kick out of watching you guys swing your dicks around at each other, trying to out do each other and behaving in a way that would be out of the question if it was the real world.
But this is the internet, and it only has so much give and take in the way of silencing a critic. Freedom of speech is great.
Me, I'm a sarcastic asshole on the internet and only more so in the real world. I should be using the internet to temper my criticisms and judgmental behavior, but I usually tend to just let it all go and then it just gets worse.
