'Public sector workers who go on strike should be shot'. These are blatantly stupid statements but they can't be taken as something that offensive. Look at Jeremy Clarkson. He insults practically everyone and his statements are almost always way OTT! Only idiots take offence at these statements and bother writing in to Top Gear to complain.

That particular one was taken out of context. He was saying that in reference to TV programs having to be fair and represent all views, then saying that that was his view, not a serious threat of course.

Computer based areas of the Internet do have more problem interactions than would exist in mainstream society. More young people who are perhaps not so socially experienced. Men, who tend to be rasher and less forgiving, outbalancing women. More techy people perhaps with not so good social skills as technical skills.

There is an area of psychology dedicated to 'Emotional Intelligence', measured by EQ (emotional quotient) which is equivalent to IQ. You would find a below average EQ on Internet forums in general. It is an area that you can improve in through life if anything easier than IQ. I would encourage everyone to read up on this as it can help career and relationship wise and I'm sure could reduce the amount of childish comments on the Internet too.
