There is a reason Antifa wear mask. That same behavior translates online. I know I say stuff to people sometimes that I would be embarrassed if my family and friends knew I was speaking to someone that way. That is not to say that to those people did not deserve it, but we are not called to give people what they deserve but to show them the way.
Just be careful about that. It's way better to say things that you, your family and friends would be proud to hear.
It's one thing to be a jerk under anonymity, but something else to practice good principles and interactions when anonymous. either choice can affect you in person, because you're practicing it anonymously, and it's far better to be principled. It's harder to do, but it makes it all the more worthwhile in the long run.
