In a previous post, I commented on some atheistic and "skeptical" bastards and cowards who attacked and threatened atheist girl Rebecca Watson (aka SkepChick). I suggested that these kinds of individuals deserve to receive a good deal of butt-kicking in person in order to learn a lesson of respect. They are cowards who are not capable of giving women the respect they deserve.
But such case of atheistic misbehaviour and insanity only highlights a major problem which expresses itself beyond the atheistic sects and pervades the online world: the existence of so-called "internet tough guys", "internet badass", "online samurais and warriors" and so forth, namely, individuals with serious personal, emotional and psychological problems who use internet to portrait themselves as "tough guys" who love to bully others.
Internet provides large room for anonymity, and this single fact allows psycho-pathological individuals to express their own negativity. Incapable of keeping such behaviour in the real, extra-online world (because in all probability they would have their butt kicked and had legal problems), they manifest their real "self" when they're in front of a computer.
Amazingly, I've seen this kind of behaviour in websites in English, German, Spanish and others from several countries. Apparently, such kind of "online badass" exists across the world.
I'm sure this topic deserve detailed examination from the scientific community, because it is a wholly new phenomenon, made possible only by the existence of internet.
