I care what other people think to a certain extent, if I judge what they say to be worthy of my care. Unfortunately, I have a very nasty temper and sometimes little things that shouldn't bother me do. I've had to curb that in real life, but it's easier to get into an arguement online because there's no fear of retribution (a.k.a. getting arrested or getting your ass kicked) and so a lot of the disciplinarian buffers that exist in the "real world" don't affect judgement here.
Exactly, and i think that is what Urge was getting at; you get kids with zero or less self-esteem, who want to be big badasses, so they come to a forum (or online game) and start shit with the local denizens, because they get to vent their frustration, angst, whatever and dont have to worry about the punch in the face they would no doubt recieve in real life.
