I totally agree with you, it is human nature. And I’m certainly not disputing the validity of your post/reference.
We live comfortably as long as our human nature sensibilities agree. Unfortunately, when our human natures differ, in extreme cases we slaughter one another. (And everything in between.)
Fortunately, most of us can sort ourselves out to some degree and keep our darkest nature at bay. Even small things like respecting each other on an audio discussion board is a step closer.
My point is it’s not cool to develop a habit of abusing others. It hurts feelings and is unsettling, especially to tender hearted people. I think those who do it online, do it offline, they just have to choose victims more carefully.
