People and the Internet

A lot has changed with the internet from originally being available to the public in 1992 to present the year 2011.  There is so much you can do look up information, play games, share files, and communicate to people across the world.

I feel that with the ambiguity the internet it allows its users to act without regard to others, often being rude or disrespectful.  I am so tired of these "internet tough guys" acting so obnoxious online where through the form of youtube comments, facebook msgs, or even forums.

I feel as if I should give an example:

I sent a message to some asshole on the internet about buying some used books, if you search on craigslist or kijji you can probably find it still up.  So I was looking at a set of Agatha Christie books for sale, it was a good deal so I asked them if they were still available and then that asshole wrongly accuses me of being on and off for 3 months.  I then corrected the jerk and said it was my first time messaging him/her and I wanted to know if the books smell cause of smoke, then the person gives me a huge long rant about how she doesn't smoke, drink, eats 3 meals a day, the mayor of her town is hazel ect... defiantly not buying books from that person
