The last time I got even remotely angry on the internet was almost 6 years ago, I was 15 and I'm 21 in two days time now.
I can't understand the anger on the net anymore, I've been on the net pretty much daily since I was 12 now, and like I said - since I was 15 I've never been angry really. Why? Because I don't see anyone as a threat, and I can't think of one reason to be pissed off. I have no idea why I would.
As for swearing, I swear relatively a lot on these forums (relative to others perhaps, at least on average)? But that means fuck-all in respect to me, because I'm not remotely angry. I don't ad hom people, I just swear in general. Often it's the excitement actually
- I love debates! And even with fr0d0 lol
. I've not got remotely angry online since I was 15, so yes - this means that I'm the top poster on this forum and I'll never let a topic drop if I can help it, but in not one of these posts have I been even remotely angry. And I can only remember being mildly frustrated with my efforts (not at the other person - in a completely impersonal way) like once with fr0d0 maybe, and like two times with Jon Paul. And like I said - that's 100% impersonal.
Finally - offline I am also much less angry than before too. I hope I see no reason to genuinely get angry with someone, and I haven't hated one single personal for a long long while. I hope it stays that way. It's actually a by-product of me not believing in free-will so I don't feel I can justly hate someone when I can't exactly blame what they're doing entirely mechanically! Whether it seems that way to them or not. That also applies to me obviously lol.
And on the matter of others getting angry - other than the fact that they blame each other because they implicitly seem to believe that others are somehow causing themselves to do wrong, other than the free-will thing, to be honest I cant' think of one real reason why anyone would be wound up over it. It just seems completely irrational to me now unless they believe that or something like that. I don't know how one could possibly rationally get angry at another on the internet over a debate.
