OK, MM, let’s break this down.   First, you begin with a description of me that’s derisive and suggests i have really craven character …. including a very visceral image that i slither like a snake.     The habit i have of posting irregularly is redefined as running away from a fight, suggesting that i am cowardly & fear that i will be humiliated.    Finally, what few personal details i gave just now were quickly picked up, & characterized as lying.     Everybody knows that calling a man a liar is traditionally the final insult before coming to blows…. We all know that’s one the most vile & basic of challenges to honor, character & manhood… it’s a time when you either defend yourself or be disgraced as a coward. 

So that post contained a set of seriously hostile messages strongly suggesting you are trying to goad me into a fight.    Have i  just been called out to the alley behind the bar?

With that good command of language, your post was really uncensored & intentionally insulting…. telling me that you despised & loathed me.     But you don’t have any idea who i am.   

Just a reminder:   this thread is about whether anonymity is supporting and encouraging verbal aggression.  

i’m a stranger to you & someone you will never have to see.   is that why you feel so comfortable talking like that?    Now that you’ve started writing specific & personalized attempts to nail me with insults, what kind of reaction are you hoping to get?
