Interesting article, I read this a few days ago I think.

It's fairly spot on as it relates to interactions over the net.
Persons generally are more aggressive, in your face etc. on the net than in person.

Social niceties also tend to go out the window...

Makes for entertaining reading at times..

Good to hear from you stranger. How's school? Glad you're all healthy. Read about the malaria outbreak in Kingston and was thinking about you. So, why didn't I email to see if you and your family were OK? Well, no good excuse. Just being a typically self-centered, self-absorbed human being.
