They arnt. Unfortunately people know being behind a keyboard protects them from the consequences of their words and actions that they wouldn't get in person. Honestly it brings out the worst in a lot and the good in the few. Op was well spoken and I appreciated the read and sentiment. I also wanted to say kudos to you for stick up for someone who was just having a conversation and wondering why most of the Internet seems to infest this behavior in people. Keep up the awesome work.
