I'm bumping this thread to share an article I ran across about the somewhat broader topic of people being "mean" (jerks, dicks, whatever) on the internet, when in RL they would be perfectly civil. Some highlights:
All of this suggests that ordinarily nice, peaceable folks can turn trollish online given the right circumstances, which is strongly dependent on the behavior of those they encounter online. This deterioration in behavior can similarly be mitigated by the actions of individuals working to deescalate situations, as well as by the algorithms of social media sites.
Thoughts?
I'm just as sarcastic and snarky in person, as in cyberspace. But in meatspace, there are audio and visual cues that denote seriousness or not. Frankly, I'm not even aware sometimes when I'm being sarcastic/snarky.
Sure, you find extrovert hatred threads all over typology sites. That's life.I walked on over to a different forum one day and I kid you not, there was a thread started just to shred extroverts. It was the equivalent of complaining about dogs. That bark.

While I hear you, don't we all do that to some extent? I often feel like the guy in the clip.My point wasn't extrovert hatred, it was complaining about someone or something for simply doing what it does naturally.
