While you are right that online insults are not the "same" as an insult to one's face, they are insults nonetheless. If your understanding that modern etiquette allows for the nasty rude and bothersome internet behavior as ok then our society is on a short path.



I've typed many things that I later wish I hadn't. I mostly regret allowing myself to get mad and/or offended in the first place.
