Yes it's someting I've noticed about the Internet - it is the easiest way to communicate excessive negative feelings.
At the risk of sound like I know something about this (which I don't) I think it is to do with the fact that on the net it is possible to act out fantasies (no, not orgys damnit!) about what you would say to people if there were no consiquences. There is no way on earth this guy would walk into a real room full of people and start randomly abusing them. It's the safe way of doing this - no matter what he/she says, there is absolutely no danger that anything will come of it.
I wish they would learn that their words are impotent and they need not waste their time with them.
