I'm sure people there make me a lot angrier than people on the interweb.
On another note, I was forced (  ) to sign up to Facebook recently, and I'm always quite bemused by people who, say, I knew at school, if not particularly well or was particularly friendly with, add me as a friend. And then they don't send messages saying, "Long time no see," or anything like that... What is the point?

Somewhat more seriously,
I'm never quite sure whether the internet encourages stupidity and obnoxious behaviour or if it is simply the fact that there are lot of stupid, obnoxious people in the world and the internet increases their visibility | Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that in reality, the human brain is quite adept at blocking out the stupidity. Online, it becomes more like a violent, obnoxious assault on the senses... Much like Bloodstalker... |
