[sunnyskywalker]

Justine Larbalestier brings some common sense to the table in her post Online versus Offline behavior. To sum up, if you act like a jerk "only" online, you are acting like a jerk. There is no magic internet shield that makes things you say online not count just because they're zapped through the ether instead of through vibrating air molecules.
