People enjoy being angry; and the Internet allows us to indulge that without the negative effects we'd incur elsewhere. How many people reading this have been in a bar fight? Would those be more common, still, if the internet fight hadn't mostly replaced them?

You used to be able to say all kinds of shit without long-term social consequences, or risk to your employment. But you also might eat a beer bottle for it if you misread your audience. I'm not sure what we have now is better but I don't think it's strictly worse either.
