Agreed, even posting online is extremely frustrating now as there is no real connection/association with real faces and posts. I understand the isolation and stress that people feel, as I feel it too, however it doesn't license people to take their frustration and anger out on others. We need to start dealing with online aggression, and the other negative behaviors exhibited with more seriousness than simply banning or ratioing users... We also need to hold sites and communities accountable for equal access and presentation of users.
People should be permitted to be wrong without getting banned or ratioed... That's what is not being allowed to play out properly... That experience only grows people who become moderators, and even politicians, that inflict the same hostile disregard and aggression towards others... "Hurt people hurt people".
We always should thoroughly address and protect each other online from conversational misconduct and of course verbal or physical abuse, but it seems that Twitter alone encourages it as a means of gaining popularity on the platform... They should be called out for that.
