The following, in no particular order are the unsupportable assumptions contained in the famous "hiding behind a computer screen" insult:

1) I don't talk like this to people all the time;
2) I'm not telling you the truth about the crappiness of your poems/personality/ideas about everything;
3) The people you do deal with face-to-face DO tell you the truth about the greatness/originality of your poems, opinions, etc;
4) The internet's worse for getting honest opinions for that reason;
5) I give a fuck;
6) If my username was my real name, I would somehow be more accountable for my comments;
7) If I were any kind of man, I'd meet you and we'd fight it out;
8) You're bigger than fighting with people;
9) You could kick my ass;
10) I'm secretly furtive and ashamed about the fact that I spend my time trashing people on the internet, so that kind of dis actually works.
