Are most people on the Internet cowards?

[Anonymous]

Here they can hide behind their anonymity and say the most horrible things about you without any repercussions and block you, whenever they want.

In real life, I doubt these tough cowboys would say even half of the stuff they'd say here, because of the backlash they would face

To the people, who say I'm anonymous, I suppose you're using your real name and surname here?
You're also anonymous too..
Also, I'm exactly the same person I am in real life, I don't have a different persona

Most people are cowards who couldn't confront someone if they had a 357 pointed to their head. The internet doesn't make cowards, only gives them a space where they can spout off at the mouth without much in ways of repercusions. Me, the name you see, thats my name, a combination of my first and last name together. I am not afraid if it be on the internet or in real life. I encourage people to come at me in real life if they truly feel that strongly. I grew up in a ghetto, watching people get curb stomped and dealing with their problems on the concrete so I will say nothing on the internet that I wouldn't say in real life.

No, most people are not cowards. In fact, we are in the minority. Go look on any YouTube videos. There will be 1m views, but only 2k comments. Of course their is no shortage of these people though. When you got an app like this available in most countries, that’s so many.

You are so right on the anonymous thing. People think that having a fake username and a generic pic, makes them non-anonymous. lol

We are all anonymous in the Internet. And, yes, people become tough, keyboard warriors on the Internet. I've blocked most of the jackasses on this site, and when I'm anon, I enjoy it when the jackasses type three paragraphs on one of my questions, and 7 seconds later I delete it. You would think they would learn from this, but a leopard can't change it's spots.

Yeah last year someone called me a certain word. I would say what it is but I don’t want to give anyone any ideas

Authentically me: I had invited a few guys to drop by.
No one turned up :D

Most people anywhere are cowards
