IMO .... a large part of it on TOTV (and msg brds in general) is the anonymity of the internet combined with the difficulty to convey nuance. People will say things "here" that they would never say face to face. It is also easy to misunderstand someone's meaning and perhaps respond stronger than normal.
I have also been amazed at how much some take ownership is stuff they like and get personally offended if someone expresses a negative opinion of whatever it is. Most stuff posted is just someones opinion and that is pretty much all it is worth .... including what I just posted. ;-)
