Filled with hate, and negativitty. If you make a typo,embed incorrectly, etc. You are now branded as incompetent. I've been a member for a lititle while now and this is all I see.
 
Just like society though you can mature and grow. You have the potential to learn from your mistakes and earn the respect of those around you. I remember absolutely getting torn apart on here when I first joined, now I at least partially figured out the community and I really love and appreciate its members. Or just keep complaining and never improve, I don't care

it's like society if everyone were as bold in society as they are typing anonymously over the internet.

Really? maybe it's just me, I say way more in real life than on the internet, I'm much more comfortable saying things then typing them where anyone can find them for years to come.

i find it hard to believe that you'd tell someone "dude, you're a fucking idiot and completely wrong" to their face, but not type it on the internet.

can you think of a time you raged to a family member about how someone else was a dumbass, but you didn't tell that person straight up? i can. it happens alot.

i strongly believe we're all pretty civil and can pump the breaks in real interactions, but when it comes to the internet and anonymity, we don't really hold back. we can troll, bash, rip into people pretty on a forum..

Oh no, I totally agree, sort of. I guess I'm just weird.

I think the family member thing is a little different though.

I guess I just realize on the internet that if I say something and then change my mind I'll look like a moron where in real life I don't have that second before I click "post" to think it through. Obviously though everyone treats it differently.

agreed. i think the point i was just trying to make is that we can apply the brakes in person, to avoid confrontation, to not hurt people to their faces, to be civil, to not look stupid ourselves, etc. but on the internet, all that goes out the window and we can be far more despicable than we would ever be in the real world. our thoughts turn to writing online, where our thoughts stay thoughts in person.
