Because the computer is a world where a person can be whoever they want to be without the peer pressure that they feel in real life. There's something about a computer screen that's different than looking a person in the face. There isn't "voice inflection" when you are typing, and there are many phrases that can mean different things depending on the way they are said. There are so many ways to answer this question.
So many people feel like they need an outlet for their rebellion or anger or whatever. For example, let's say that someone works in a business world, and has to be kept to a certain standard day in and day out, and they get tired of acting or dressing or being a certain way and the internet is their way of letting out that side of them. Or, a teenager that isn't allowed to do certain things, can be whoever they want to be on the internet and they usually think that their parents will never know, and they can live an entirely different life on the internet.
Whereas in real life, there are all kinds of things that the internet world doesn't have to deal with. Peer pressure, face-to-face meetings, etc. But usually, I think that the way people are on the internet is the way that people wish that they are, and that is the only place where they feel comfortable being that way.

fear
first of all it's fear, when you are in front of the computer cannot suffer any other type of damage than having your time wasted.but, when you are facing real persons, real problems you cannot act irresponsable any if you do so you'll pay the consequences.
after fear are other reasons that are strictly related to the person we are talking about.

because there is a nice screen in front of them and it makes them feel brave . I have to admit, though, this seriously pisses me off. Why open your damn mouth if you know you would never take action in real life??
