I'm much nicer online than in real life.

I would never bother to register to read anything so I can't read the entire article, but from the snippets you have posted, it seems like a very lopsided view.

People use anonymity just as frequently to lie and distort themselves as they do to reveal their inner secrets. I see teenagers claiming to bench press weights that would be world records all the time. Also, most women in chat rooms are really men, and the young teenage girls are FBI agents.
