In my opinion people are less respectful online then they are in person. The reason I believe this is because people are typically more nice when you are in person. But if you are not face to face with someone you have nothing to be scared about, so you can be as rude as you want. I’m not saying all people on the internet are rude, but the chance of meeting someone rude online has a bigger possibility than someone being rude in person. When your in person face to face and you be rude it can go several ways you can get in a really big trouble for it if you say it to someones face. But online you can’t always see someone’s face, or even know who they are. So they can talk a big game, or be as rude as they please. So I believe that people are a lot more rude online than they are in person.
