It’s not like this in the “real world” outside the internet. People use APC anonymity say things that would get them shunned or even fired at work, just because.......they can. Some of this is normal, but right now the Corona situation is adding emotional stress. If you browse a sample of posts from last year or earlier, a more typical mood should be evident.
