I don’t doubt that. People act out conflict differently offline. For example cops get more trigger happy, more mass shooters, etc. There’s also compensatory self-segregation Offline tends to gather critical mass and explode in bigger ways (riots) than endemic continuous conflict

The medium is the message, but the speaker still forms the intent. I don’t mean to say there are no medium effects on affect at all, but I’m very skeptical of the idea that it’s the primary factor. “Look what Twitter/Facebook made me do” is just too convenient an abdication.

Again compared to what? Offline smart assholes might say smooth passive aggressive things while dumb assholes slam doors or slack off to get back at boss. And I know dumb nice people online too, who are all sweet thoughts and cat memes. It’s not about smarts.

You do see it. It just explodes less frequently and more violently. Law of conservation of resentment or something.

How do you think they’d behave on a jury? Hiring? Have you factored in segregation effects offline that come with their own structural debts? You insist on evaluating behaviors in isolated contexts/times. My point is equations balance at system level. No free niceness lunch.
