I try to be civil when I'm online. I don't insult people or generally say things I wouldn't have the courage to say to their face in front of other people.
I'm seeing a lot of examples lately of people just going way too far with personal attacks on other people online. Death threats to, or calls for assassination of politicians people don't like. Name calling to the extreme, like referring to female actresses and politicians as c%nts.
It makes me wonder. How different would the internet be if when you were posting stuff online, it automatically came with an immediate, real screenshot of you (probably from your camera) or a real, registered still, plus your actual address. Would people generally still be so bold in their posts?
