In this article Freedland talks about being a different person on the net. I can quite relate to that. As someone who might not retaliate in person, I take up issues on the net. Bad service, faulty product... and I am online making a complaint. I have found it quite effective.
Freedland states that just as a car windscreen can make a person ruder than he would have been as a mere pedestrian, the computer screen also has some sort of a similar effect! It brings out the darker side of the person! He states -quote - For reasons not yet fully understood, the internet seems to have robbed many of embarrassment. Unquote.
Interesting. Does it work the same way for you? I think I should mentally put myself behind a screen when I have to take up issues next time.
