View submission: Are you *really* anonymous here?
I go even a step further with this. I refuse to be an asshole in writing. I’ve never been in a fight via text. I will argue face to face, no problem. But I never want written evidence of being a dick. If my wife sends an angry text, I will answer with a phone call. But I have never gone on a profanity laced rant in writing. Especially to my wife.

I remember the early "flame wars" we called them in the early days of the internet (mid-90s). I learned it was easy for things to escalate when you're not talking directly to the person, and have long since tempered my responses.
