Why is it that some people choose to be total chodes when granted anonymity, like in discussion forums and the like? I really wonder what the whole psychology of it is. I mean - I, too, could choose to make snap judgements about others and post comments intended to demean or start a fracas, but I choose not to. Have I just not developed the aggressive A-hole gene?
Even in high school, when kids would get into fist-fights and others would rally around to see and further instigate by cheering it on, I chose to keep my seat, ignoring it all - it was really beneath my notice, or, at least, my participation.
