You want to put forth your opinion to the world, and if you cannot take rebuttal or a difference of opinion, then putting yourself out in the public might not be the place for you. Behavior is guided by who we are. If we are rude and contemptuous of the world, we are that online (probably even more with the mask of "anonymous"), if we treat one another with respect, than we will online as well. The internet has given the chance for people who would not interact in the real world a place to voice their opinion in the safety of their homes. They do not band together but rather roam as lone wolves across the internet. There will be an interesting article this Sunday in the NY Times about trolls. " Malwebolence - The World of Web Trolling", it's a fascinating read into the mind of "Trolls". It's online now at the nytimes.com site.
