Anyone else feel like being nasty on here to others is kinda bad for the soul?

I had a realization today that I talk entirely too much crap on this website that I would never think to say to others if I wasn’t online and anonymous. Calling others retards or trying to constantly dunk on other posters I disagree with. Just years of this shite. I don’t think it’s good for people.
I know it sounds over the top or dumb, but I was reading my Bible earlier and it dawned on me today that I’m engaging with other humans here and I have no clue if the guy I just called a retard is dealing with his mother dying, or a divorce, or any other number of things. But the anonymity makes it all feel fake. It might seem silly to say Christ will account for your TD history, but…..
Anyways, sorry for being too serious on the OT

It’s doesn’t count on TD

It's kinda our thing on this board.
I suspect half or more of us are nowhere near the way we are here in real life. I know I'm not. I'm 100% opposite of how I am here, and a big reason for that is to try to conceal my identity.

Always like when you can tell someone is going through some shite and they take it out on the board.
Probably means a kid isn't getting beat.

I have to go to church so much BECAUSE y'all are such retards and it tests my patience

It's something I think we all fail at sometimes and something we should all do a better job of keeping in the front of our minds. To your point, we don't know what others are going through and it's good to be graceful.
The anonymous nature of the internet or even the sense of security of simply being behind a keyboard has 100% led to people saying things they would NEVER say in real life.

It depends on the post's subject matter for me. If it's a silly topic, I like to fk around.
These posters are soft.

you're worse cause you choose to be worse. Blaming the website removes all personal accountability. And thats a load of shite.

I think one mitigating factor (especially in regards to the Rant) is that if you spend any time at all trying to get a handle on the board before diving in, you realize it really is completely rough and tumble and essentially anything goes.
Just some stupid example, but were I contributor to a hair metal forum () I read, I might disagree with others but would never resort to the straight up abusive language I have no qualms (I guess) about using here.
What that says about the state of my soul, however, I too sometimes wonder.

Love your neighbor as you love yourself: it’s THE most important teaching of Jesus.
Yes I fail at it at times, but I’m trying.

this is the bigger issue. This place is for entertainment. Yes, we can discuss serious topics, but do so with irreverence and frivolity. Nothing discussed here is going to change anything. The problem isn't the board, its those who take it too seriously.
Dunking on people can be cathartic, if its done in jest.

Like all things, there’s a line of reasonableness. A lot of people live way on the bad side of it on here.

I bust my friends balls in real life, so I wouldn’t I do the same on here?
I guess I don’t feel like I’m genuinely “mean” to anyone on here.

If you would say the same thing in person is actually not a bad barometer for evaluating the appropriateness of your comments. If you're negative too often, it definitely etches a negative pattern within you... it doesn't mean you're bad, but it can become a bad habit.
I'm rarely outright mean or overly insulting... though I did call VOR an idiot on the poliboard recently. And I'm certainly not above making a bad pun in a thread discussing someone dying... though some people find this distasteful.
There is a wide array of shite-talking on here-- sometimes mean-spirited, but sometimes playful. It's interesting to me that sometimes those who shite-talk a good bit end up being genuinely kind and encouraging in other threads when someone needs help.
You never know.
