Is this a bad thing? Well I guess yes, if the people on the receiving end take it as they would IRL. But isn't this -like most things- a two way street? If someone on teh interweb calls you a bad name, do you really feel as bad as you would if it were your neighbor shouting out of their window at you?
Maybe it's even a good thing. To be able to say what you feel rather than bite it back and smile that tight "fuck you, you inconsiderate neighbor" half smile.
Catharsis and all that.
