For some people, all semblance of rationality and respect for others disappears once they realise they're anonymous and behind a screen, causing topics with nuance and complexity which deserve to be debated and discussed properly, to be reduced into morally black and white issues. Instead of making any logical arguments, groups of people will just say "If you disagree, you suck" and so it spirals.
