Why are people such assholes on the internet?

Question by purefragilehaze: Why are people such assholes on the internet?
What is it about the internet that makes people have strong opinions about really stupid things? Why do people think it’s okay to behave like asshats to perfect strangers just because they’re doing it through a computer? Are we going to end up raising a whole generation of antisocial twits who don’t know how to communicate because they spend too much time trolling on the internet? Go to any forum on IMDB and you’ll see people actually fighting over MOVIES. Does ANYONE do this in real life? Do they even want to? I really hated a lot of movies but I don’t feel the need to verbally abuse the people that like them. What the hell is wrong with people?

PS if you think you’re being clever by replying to this and being a jerk, you’re very wrong.
