It's a lot easier to be hardcore on the keyboard, hiding behind your monitor, than it is to tell someone face to face what you think about them. Very few people can stand up to a person and tell them everything they think, without sugar coating it and accepting all the blame for their actions and decisions.

It could be because of how immature they are and they don't know how to avoid conflicts. They probably can't handle the situation by talking it over maturely and possibly apologizing for maybe being incorrect on the subject. They may be too stubborn to admit they're wrong. There's no definite answer for this because of the variety of possibilities for why people insult each other over the internet. They all have their own reasons for why they do that. But I suggest that if they have such a problem with other people on the internet, maybe they should stay away from chatrooms and forums, etc. Hope this helps =)!!

They insult people over the Internet because that is where they are most powerful. They are safe in their homes throwing out nasty words to others with the satisfaction that there is nothing that they can really do to them to retaliate. Most of them are just bored little kids, whose parents don't pay attention to what they are doing, so they get on here and see how far they can push people.

Some people feel really good, when they have the chance to down talk someone else. This is not just on the net this happens everyplace.People that are kind are really abused by so many other people.

It is the same reason people drive like nuts and yell at other drivers. They think that they will never meet them. So they abuse them. "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh" They would never act like that if they were walking on the sidewalk next to them.

It's partly because they are not face to face. Also, I think some people take their frustrations out here where it's relatively safe for them to.

Its anoy...and they build their self esteem that way.
Its easy when you dont have a backbone to act like an idiot to make yourself feel good.
Its like using your car for a weapon and giving other drivers trouble.

they lack the skills necessary to get one's point across without the use of insults.
