You're so naive.
There are practically no consequences for being rude on the internet, and you expect people to be on their best behavior?
Hell no. It's the same reason people post silly shit, because nobody takes an internet forum seriously, unless somebody is having a serious discussion.

I expect assholes, idiots, bigots, and every shitty person you can imagine on the internet. I know they're out there, and I detest them. These assholes who seek validation by tearing down others should not however be justified because "nobody takes an internet forum seriously". Clearly, as displayed by this and many other similar threads, some people do. People post silly shit because [i]they[/i] don't give a shit. And that's fine for [i]them[/i], but if a user, let's use Felicia as an example, doesn't want their pictures circulating the site without their permission, then they have every right to give a shit when some assholes decide to do exactly that. Especially when after start to trash her openly. She can't mute them either because different people do it every day.

Or, if she had the self confidence she pretends to have, she could laugh at them and go on about her day. She lacks class. She got all pissy and emotional instead of ignoring them or even writing something witty to make them feel bad.
