Why are people on forums so rude?

[Crystal]

It's because they're usually cowards in real life. On forums they can hide behind their computer screens and fake names. I wrote an article about it and posted it at Yahoo Voices. It was a way to vent about it. Anyway, I think that you'll appreciate what I had to say about it. I'll add it as my source instead of pasting it all here. I usually avoid forums.
