Well sure, but most people don’t think about their actions when they’re safely anonymous, they just do things.

Isn’t that the whole reason we fear others less when we’re anonymous? No chance at retaliation? You say tomato, etc.

Surprisingly, it was more the “hey, you’re not anonymous, idiot” thing that I was going for. It was only in retrospect that I considered the possibility that Manny could have been totally freaked out by it. :)

Well, it does give a certain level of “And I can come to your house and gut you while you sleep!” threat to your otherwise polite response. Maybe disturbing, but far from ineffective. :)
