Internet Manners: An Oxymoron

Why is it that so many people seem to think that they can turn their manners OFF when they turn their computers ON? I don't understand. People online will say a million things to others that they'd never say in person!

On numerous online social sites, a man will say the wildest things to a woman: "Hey, I'd love to see you naked" or "Hey, do you like to suck kok?" or even "I'll pay you $xx.xx to let me watch you (on webcam)." In most cases, if the same man were in a real bar with the same woman, and made the same crude comments, the woman would likely slap the shit out of him or have him hauled out by the bar's security.

Why is it different online? Why are you allowed to hide behind the relative anonymity of the internet while you run around like a dog in heat e-humping every woman in sight?

Well, to all those of you who are unmannered bafoons, I say I've had enough! I expect the same here online that I would expect in the real world. If you say something to me online that, in the real world would cause me to slap you, I will simply block you instead and not look back. You can then go on to pester and insult the other women who choose to tolerate you, while I focus my time and attentions on people with some manners and a little class!
