But that's not (specifically) the issue that Jeff was originally addressing, although it could be applied to that as well. Jeff was talking about numerous threads and individuals, primarily on other forums, who used the Internet as a platform for rudeness and obnoxiousness of a very accelerated degree.

Speaking for myself, I speak (type) the same online as I would face to face -- the only difference is that I answer to "Jim" in person rather than "gonk". That's not to say that there's anything wrong with being a bit more open and vocal online than in person, just my personal style.
