Because people can make any opinion without worries of physical retribution from the other party like IRL.

Me, I try to say only what I would be prepared to say to someones face.

With the racist shit you were spouting off in that other thread, I find this thread pretty ironic.

Also, I think you might be confusing what is often light-hearted internet banter for hatred. ;)

I was thinking about this in the shower earlier tonite, I believe there are 4 reasons;
1) (percieved) interweb anonymity
2) Sad antisocial types with character flaws who previously either hung out in small like minded (and small minded) groups, and shunned or were shunned by, society at large, are now exposed to ideas/people/groups they find abhorrent and react in a manner appropriate for their underdeveloped social skills, ie by going psycho (ie on vorb there are queer people and homophobic people, liberals and ultra conservatives, DHers and roadies all sharing a common space)
3) the intreweb gives petty pissing contests global reach
4) arguing is fun!

I think EDC has identified a major part of the problem - what is light-hearted banter to one person is vitriolic character assassination to another. It's not that some people are more sensitive and some are less so, we all have different areas of sensitivity and insensitivity. Or as poor victimised Richard Freeman ( :crazy: ) put it:
There is no tone or context on the internet.

Harden up, you lily-livered nancy. The vast majority of vitriol on the internet is justifiably directed at idiots who initiate a poll with options involving kittens who are too thick to utilise capital letters at the start of sentences, apostrophes in contracted words and correct pluralizations.
