I suppose partly because it's easier to depersonalise someone. In RL, when you're pissed at someone, and they're still floating around your life, eventually through contact you end up softening up. You get to see their facial expressions, get a sense of how they're feeling, visual cues.

Like when you've had a blazing row with your partner, a few hours later, you look at them, and you know it's alright again, so you talk. Or if you're being an asshole to someone, you get to see the impact. Or it's just too uncomfortable to be in the same space and be shitty, so you drop it.

And stuff.
