They say that electronic mail tends to be informal in style (as opposed to written mail) and makes people bolder. This encourages those who wouldn’t dare to say something direct to your face (and who don’t have anything serious enough to say to commit it to a formal, written memo) to send you “brazen” messages.

Even back in 1983 the internet made you an asshole haha
