Many are slow to anger offline but become angry very quickly online, because when we interact on the Internet we don’t see each other’s expressions or body language, so it’s easy to misinterpret each other’s intentions.

The good thing is that we can always opt not to send that angry or sarcastic comment.

Of course, it’s still hard because pride is a very strong influence.

“At times a single word is sufficient to cool a person who is burning with anger; and, on the other hand, a single word may be capable of just relating a soul, and infusing it and infusing into it bitterness which may be most hurtful.”  -St. Vincent  de Paul
