Internet: the new battlefield?

Mini battles occur online day after day. These range from petty misunderstandings between lovers or friends that end up in angry emails, to major quarrels between competitors that end up on their websites’ home pages.

Even young bloggers are not spared from the anger as spammers and flamers bombard comment boxes. The same sort of anger carries over to discussion threads, forums, and chat rooms. When you think about it, the web has become yet another outlet for many people to dispense their pent up emotions. In fact, some blog entries specifically fall under the rant category.

Where are all the angst coming from? Is the web turning to a whole new battlefield for many people all over the world?
