What is it about the anonymity of the internet that brings about the absolute worst in some people?

After I decided to screen my comments I got several more anonymous ones. In varying degrees of hostility.

Someone wrote me to say that they know won't publish it but they just wanted me to know how that I'm trash and they have no sympathy for me.

 She seemed to take it awfully personally. Was she wondering if it was her husband I was fucking?


So umm. As we say in Canada, home of the super polite,

Fuck off, eh?

And no, I'm not going to publish your mean little comment.
