But people are polite to your face. On the internet there’s no face, so that goes away.

I think part of that comes from empathy, though obviously part also comes from fear of confrontation and habit. It all adds up to offline interactions being far less hostile than on the Internet because they’re not face-to-face.

This is also known as Internet Fuckwad Theory.
