Ibn: There's absolutely nothing that I say online that I wouldn't say face to face to anyone.
Nothing.
And yet I do quite well at work, I have loads of friends and family, and I get by pretty well in the world.
The problem with judging people's online statements is that you are missing out on over 90% of their intended message. Only 10% of effective communication is comprised of what is said or written. The remaining +90% is composed of voice dynamics and body language, which includes facial expression.
Ergo, you think someone is getting angry or blowing up at you when in fact they're not.

Agreed.

Though, I think ChotooMotoo is more or less talking about how people display their disagreements or anger with one another compared to how they would in person. The name calling, the threats, the low blows-- would they say the same if they were face to face with the other person?
