As far as your post goes:

I would agree with that to an extent; however, whether this is good or bad, I am exactly the same way online as I am in 'reality.'
The internet is 'reality' to me, insofar as it's discourse with other human beings, simply on a different medium. I personally don't behave any differently on here, because it's not a form of escapism to me - it's just an amusing activity like any other. I don't take things too seriously on here, but that goes for any social situation.
In the same vein, I don't disregard people I talk to online either. Just because I'm not speaking to someone face-to-face does not mean they don't exist, and therefore deserve respect. Many people say they don't make "friends" online, and perhaps that's true to the extent that it will always be a different social dynamic when you can't physically spend time with a person, but you're still interacting socially with someone, and therefore you observe the same 'guidelines' on here as you would in person.
That being said, if I rip on someone online, it's not 'keyboard courage' - because really, what have you got to fear on here or in person when you're honest with someone? That they won't give you their stamp of social approval? If I'm at odds with someone in either medium, it's safe to assume I don't want that approval anyhow.
Basically, this is a long-winded way of saying that if I call someone a cunt, I have reason to believe it's true, and I mean it. This certainly does not mean I expect others to agree with me, but it is an honest expression of my opinion, and those, I will not conceal.
Does that make sense? I realize I ramble way too fuckin much.
