But depersonalisation is good.
When they make it real life personal, it gets scary... and I often wonder whether such idiots think to themselves, "hang on, this is a bit weird," when they're scouring phone records so they can take a forum spat to a creepy phone call.
Winning teh internets is serious business to some, I suppose, and they just don't know where to draw the line.

I get a bit highly strung on forums sometimes, but I'm usually over any bad feeling within a few hours. If I've really offended somebody through my own stupidity, and caused a lingering bad atmosphere, I'll generally make my apologies and step away for a while.
