Additionally, there is something about interacting online that makes it very easy for nearly everyone to cross a line and engage in uncivil, hostile social interaction. As a result, the social atmosphere online can often be toxic, and can cause people to take actions that have serious real-life consequences --- bullying, verbal altercations, physical altercations, and attempts at suicide.
