Comment on Are a few people ruining the internet for the rest of us?

However almost all of them get the hint to respectfully change the topic when there is an impasse. Online the badgering continues unabated.

The main point is that these interactions happen much less often IRL than online, where the anger trolls post relentlessly. If they acted like that in person almost nobody would ever talk to them, but for some weird reason they get a lot of takers online.
