to confront that online 'tuff guy' persona face to face, you need not invest in a cross-atlantic plane ticket...rather all you need do is look in a mirror.

Weirdo

It seems to me that these same people who throw around that silly ''It's just the internet'' philosophy, are also the quickest to become upset and click that report button.

I get angry online for exactly the same reasons I get angry offline. I should think everyone else is the same, I know the thread starter certainly appears to be; due to the fact that most of their posts seems to be going mental at JIA in the religion forum.

Who was you talking about? Maybe you should use quotes; it might help.

fair enough and thank you for the advice. allow me to reciprocate.
it might help you to avoid jumping to baseless conclusions by simple inquiry.

next time, try:

"were you referring to *insert name*?"

My point was how you constantly call people names of known trolls. That is one of the reasons I get mad at you.

Kind of funny and extremely ironic that a thread made to discuss why people get angry is filling up with angry people.

And you recuse yourself from that accusation, I assume.

no, you are clearly lying to provoke an agressive response so that you can report me in typical cowardly fashion. ill admit it worked on me once shakey...once...so pat yourself on the back.

Why should people be any more reluctant to get angered online then in real life? I see people say things online that'd be liable to get them a punch in the face in real life, then when the other poster gets mad it's "why u so angry???"

So, how do you keep up with all the different screen names and passwords? Really, I'm curious. Is your office or computer room or where ever you keep your online antics, covered with post-it notes? Do you have them on a rotation schedule, allowing for the time one account gets temporarily banned? What? How do you keep up with it all?
