Why are people so mean to each other online?

. .
true... anonymity seems to bring out hidden evils... off-line, those can potentially be handled by police, so there is hesitation... also, most users of internet forums or facebook/youtube comment sections are young people ( 13 to 25 ) and they do not hesitate in using foul language or aggression because their school and college environments are uncontrolled about language.

note, these same aggressive people would not be politically active in their schools/college/job in a good way, by creating student union or employee union based in socialism.

no, 99.99 percent of these mean, aggressive people in on-line forums have no power and influence on the off-line world... in off-line, they are followers of criminal activity in teen male gangs, religious reactionary groups etc... they may invite someone from on-line to off-line for a fight or they may use internet to propagate their off-line criminality but the mean ones are never the ones who will contribute in good ways to the world.



before pdf, i had been at only two forums, and those were proper socialist forums with mature people... in one of the two, we used the forum for off-line political activities... so i was among dedicated political participants.
People don't like what's different from themselves.
You are one of those anti thesis. Instead of appertaining for a good discourse and a person with opposing point of view. People hate you.

But jamahir I like you Bro. You are black sheep of the family.

They are the student wing of the current ruling party of Bangladesh.

Don't worry, he was taken care of on PDF :lol:

well, sometimes power corrupts... i knew a young chap who left the student wing of a communist party in kerala state, because the student wing had become a personal militia thing for some of its members and had gone away from the movement ideals.

I am never mean to anyone on the internet.

Cant say the same about others and me though.

Funny coincidence, that was the subject of today's post on my blog. :-)

you are sometimes mean about a certain female member. :)

Really? Apart from the obvious application of Rule 37, who, who, who? :girl_wacko:

Vid@rr? BlueEyes? That Iranian hottie? OH, NO! wait, :raise: I got it : Levina!!!

I got it right? What did I win? Where and when can I claim my prize? :partay:

;) Tay.

LOL I don't remember her handle but if her picture is real, she's freaking awesome!
You know the one that used French sometimes and seemed to have a preference for Algeria too?

I forgot the rest about her, I wouldn't make a good stalker, I guess!

:rolleyes1: Tay.

and pdf is one of the meanest places on internet.

:) NO PDF is one of the better platforms.It has a history of its own and we have seen the most meanest threats from members here .

Taygibay called death threats as trolling while I have practically found these and stalking as the most frustrating helplessness on the part of the members who resorted to such acts.

I love the anonymity internet provides especially in forums like this... what is the point of being nice always... lot of our adult life spent on lying to other people to remain social...


some people get burnt because they did not follow basic rules... like sharing real pics or address...
nothing wrong in it but you should be strong enough to counter if anything bad happens.

People are naturally mean and full of hatred. Anonymity brings out the repressed hate in a consequence-free environment.
