Here is the introduction to the article, I just copied and pasted:

 

"The Internet makes people crazy. We all know this. The guy on the message board who just called you a clown for owning a different video game console than him probably would have been perfectly polite had you met in real life.

 

In fact, we're thinking it's time they updated the psychological diagnostic manuals with this list of new disorders that only seem to kick in once the person opens a web browser."

 

I hate admitting to seeing a glimpse of myself in the article.

 

 

 

Edit: I must warn you that there are some words in the article.

the more i think about it, thats very true. people say things on the net but would never dream of it offline.

 

its crazy

[got the flavor]

It all makes perfect sense now, I think theres a gap in the the profession of an internet shrink.
