exactly. They know they can get away with it. So they take advantage of the internet, where they couldn't do so in the real world. They are too afraid to behave like an asshole or jerk in school or the workplace, but they can do so on the internet. They have no shame on the internet, and this shamelessness is hidden and controlled in real life by the established ethics we have in the real world. Being rude is easier on the net, but being rude in public, in the real world will get you yelled at and maybe a bloody nose. You dont get yelled at on the net, just get warnings through a MACHINE.

as I've said elsewhere, the internet is reason enough for some people to act like an asshole, just as drugs and alchohol are.
