Anonymity on the Internet

Anonymity on the Internet seems to bring out the worst of people. I was randomly browsing through the comments on articles on the New York Times website and MyLifeisAverage and I was taken aback by the sheer obnoxiousness and hatefulness people were spewing on the sites. I wonder how many of these people would dare to say the same things in real-life that they’re able to say while hiding behind an anonymous screen name online. It makes my faith in humanity diminish that much less :/
