This is something I've been wondering about for a few years now, accelerated by the pervasiveness of the internet.
Folks getting very worked up about a given issue, quite beyond anything I can comprehend. We've all seen it at the bottom of the page in the comments section of any site that allows them.
We see it when people sling mud on FB, for one example. Saying things they'd never say in person. But what really does confuse me is the investment made in some issue that doesn't affect the commenter personally.
Let us reason together. Is it simply the relative anonymity provided by the web? That it gives people a way to fire off a salvo? I actually wonder if it's not changing society norms in some way.
