Why do people feel the need to be so mean on the net?

[Sultana]

In a different site, this one chick just won't quit being a bitch to me. Sadly, I can't put her on ignore because she's a moderator. x(

She safe being behind her computer but I wouldn't hesitate to kick her ass if I ever run into her. She's lucky that she lives in Europe }(

1. It's the curse of the net.

I never read comments on youtube anymore,they are just nasty.

8. True, I avoid Youtube comments on something political like a bad rash

3. Because they can without any accountability.

It doesn't take any strength of character or grace to be mean when you are anonymous. It's what cowards resort to, to make themselves feel strong.

4. Hey, if you were makin fun of my hobby, i'd be a bitch towards you too...

All's I'm sayin' is if you happened to have called her unholy love of rubber Spock ears a "sick twisted fetish, not worthy of a kindergartner", its no wonder she would be mean back, ya know?

6. Most who are mean on the web are mean in real life, too.

Those that aren't wish they had the courage to be.

7. Don't you hate abusive moderators?

I have one of those on another website I frequent and she is terrible.

Some people think the Internet is a universal "consequences free zone" for their abhorrent behavior.

[Sultana]

13. Totally, you would think a moderator would have some sense

Ugh, whatever I'm not frequenting that site anymore. I don't like when people go out of their way to start shit.

14. I hear you!

I won't name names (so as not to embarrass racaulk), but there was this one moderator here at DU that was abusive. He was always busting my 'nads.

And there was another, I'll just Call Him Wesley, who was constantly banging on my head with his typewriter.

And another, who I'll just refer to as krispos41+1, he always made fun of my posts.

But I think I've finally gotten over it.

18. Why do they let you continually harass me

15. I've found that freepers are mean. People on the DU are great.
