It is called ITG, short for Internet Tough Guy syndrome.
YotaTech is mild compared to a lot of other forums out there.

Some of the stuff I have read elsewhere and even here are insane.
Would you talk face to face to someone the same way you do on forums if you are being the ITG?

I think not.
I know it would not fly with me.
Someone would be missing some teeth and they would come out in the next time they sat down.

Seriously, how hard is it to take a few minutes when composing a message?
Hiding behind a keyboard though gives some people a feeling of being invincible.
Think not, anyone can find your home address with a little research and camp out on your property and do some serious damage if they wanted to.
