It's definitely easier to get angry at someone and express it via email and say stuff you wouldn't normally say face to face or via the phone.
This is just my anecdote however, no studies to back it up.
- _delirium 15y agoA corollary I've found is that it's easier to go along with things you don't really agree with in person, when in email you'd disagree. Especially for conflict-averse people. Pros and cons, I guess. If I know someone is conflict-averse I sometimes actively seek out their view by email after a meeting, to make sure I know what they really think.
