My experience suggests there is much less of it in the "real world" of The Villages, i.e. activities outside of the digital world. I think this forum tends to attract a higher percentage of people with mental health issues such as loneliness, anxiety and depression than you will find "outside." Anger often is a symptom of these, and is more easily expressed "behind the computer screen", IMHO.

Very astute analysis. I find that I come across MUCH fewer angry, hostile people when I'm out doing things. I think they are happier because they aren't sitting behind a computer trying to form cliques and start arguments on the internet.
