Because you will not see them in real life. You can do anything you want.That's the sad part on the internet,there is no real feelings,so they just cuss each other out without "real" feelings.

The Argument goes in a different way.

kinda like being at the Monday morning meeting w/ a dozen cranky pants sitting around a conference table while the phone is on speaker....and you're the one on the other end of the phone! Oh yeah, that shoots off like a defective pop-bottle rocket!


not that I am, um, speaking from personal experience.....

Yes but wouldn't one feel even slightly like an a**hole knowing what they are making themselves look like? I think it's the same as the outside world,unless you're a complete schitzo who can turn on & off being an a-hole you're pretty much the same person wherever you go.
I've seen people on this forum come and go thinking they can say whatever they want and if they get banned they can always come back...but it doesn't work because people can still recognize those same a**holes

beats me i just always assumed it was all about me.
best theory is my body language and or tone of voice insinuates things that brings them
irreversable trauma and suffering.

It is not that bad since the elections are over...thank goodness.

Seriously, I do not think it is too bad. There are a few that throw fuel on the conversations and then throw a match or two in but they are just attention seekers...

They don't care,because they are not going to meet them,the ones they do meet are friendler. They can hit the keyboards and just write anything they want. there is no real interaction.

Some people do not have guilt or shame. Don't you know that? In my experiences a lot of people are that way. They might say "oooooh I feel so sorry or so bad about __________" but they don't mean it because they aren't calling you up once a month to take you out to lunch or to invite you to social gatherings. They hate you and only have to say "sorry" because it was pointed out or rubbed in their face. You know what I mean?

because all are free to post on this forum. many have issues, of which skin tone and sexual orientation are the least. the kick in the head is many feel they are invisible. cleverly hiding behind a non existent bush. even more funny is they will openly list their issues in their profile.
