AnonymousHack writes "New Scientist examines why people are in general ruder and more abusive online. "Psychologically, we are "distant" from the person we're talking to and less focused on our own identity. As a result we're more prone to aggressive behaviour" says one psychologists, who also cites research showing messages received by email are always perceived more negatively than on the phone. Of course, they don't answer the more important question of why modder are so damn wrong most of the time."
