The first thing they teach you in psychology class is "don't outright denounce people's ideas", because when you're a psychologist there's every chance the person ranting inanely at you is a psycho.

Here on the internet, we don't need to hide behind a layer of bullshit, because it (usually) doesn't matter if we accidentally antagonise a psycho. Here on the internet, if we think you're deranged, we don't tell you your opinion has logical relevance; if we don't respect you, we don't tell you we respect you. We tell you you're fucking deranged, and we give you no respect.

If your ego is easily bruised, you might take it as a personal affront, and complain that we're all idiots. Once you toughen up a little, though, you'll come to appreciate that on the internet people generally say what they really think, rather than what they think you want to hear.
