"If you don't have something nice to say, don't say it," it's the phrase many of us have had hammered into our head since we were old enough to understand what it meant. The other golden rule, "Treat others as you wish to be treated," and that's just as important.

Recently, as I'm posting, I find myself typing something long, and generally really, really mean and then I just click the "Eyes on Final Fantasy Forums" link and boot out of there.

Then again, while having conversations face to face, by the time I start talking I can't say, "Backspace! Backspace!" and expect everyone else to go on like normal.

What about you. Do you find yourself to be more respectful or more disrespectful on the internet. Are there things that you'd say to people online, who you don't know and are complete strangers, that you would never say to anyone face to face, even close friends and all that stuff?
