So it is very fair to judge a person based on how they behave online when they are at their worst. That is their true selves.
I agree 100%, Being on the net since it was nothing but text boards and usenet (not too old but I'm old enough). I have always found that people try to dismiss their behavior online as not really them, but it's a lie. An A-hole online is an Ahole in real life 99.9999% of the time. The ONLY reason they aren't quite as A-holish in RL is because they would...go to jail, get beat to death, have no family, friends or sexlife (lol), have to be "What they are" in the light of day for all to see = embarassment, put away in a mental institution, (insert 100's of other consequences here).
So yes, it's 100% fair to judge a being based on their online behavior as far as considering what kind of person they are at their core. And I do.
