    For some reason people act like they score points from being snappy to people online. That’s the biggest difference I think.

      People want to feel superior to other people.

      Easiest way to do that is to dunk on someone else, especially if you can ID them as part of an ‘inferior’ group.

      Also, as a superior person, you don’t have to acknowledge the legitimacy of the humanity of inferior people, you can ignore them and deny them any emotional weight or sympathy. You only put your energy towards your equals and betters.
