I felt more attacked for my parenting views when posting on the La Leche League forums! And beleive me, my comments were NOT disrespectful or weird. (For example I posted that my 5 year old gave up naps before she was 3 and got completely jumped on by someone...weird).
I have also had experianced getting completely trashed about all sorts of things by my psychotic ex...but he didn't attack my birthmother status for some reason...
I do beleive there are some twisted people out there who use and abuse the internet to make people feel bad. I personally don't get it. And no, I don't think they would do it in the same way in person(although they might do it just more subtley) and yes, I do think they would be more likely to apologise.
Again, looking at my ex as an example, he really liked to use the internet to manipulate people. Don't get it, which is a big reason why he's my ex.
