In person, we have to worry about not only our reputation, but getting our teeth knocked out, which are both powerful incentives to be polite. On the internet, there are no such concerns, so many, many people (perhaps most people) behave much more rudely on the internet. I think it takes a lot of self control to be polite on the internet.

I think many people use the Internet's anonymity to behave badly in ways that few would dare do in person. It's sad that this medium encourages that level of gutlessness. Very true.
