"#@*!!! Anonymous anger rampant on Internet"
CNN (November 3, 2008)
"(CNN) -- There's a whole world of people out there, and boy, are they pissed off.
"On political blogs, the invective flies. Posters respond to the latest celebrity gossip with mockery or worse. Sports fans set up Web sites with names that begin with "fire," hoping coaches, athletic directors and sportscasters lose their jobs....
A lot of angry people are online? This, we didn't know?!
What makes this article worth reading is the discussion of why people act the way they do online, and what's changed in the Information Age. "In the [pre-Internet era], you had to take ownership [of your remarks]. Now there's a perception of anonymity," as a communications professor said.
Sometimes people just need to grab attention ... now you see. They have gotten our attention :)
