It's a faceless, often anonymous platform, with little to no actual "real world" consequences (IE people can't punch you in the face), so many people feel "phony tough", or as it is often called "Internet Tough", and feel like being assholes to people. Sometimes they're just trolling, thinking that it's funny to be mean. Other times? They're just being mean. Me? I still try (often in vein) to get ACTUAL conversation out of folks on the internet.
Imagine that, eh?
