The researchers took 30 pairs of undergraduate students and gave each one a list of 20 statements about topics like campus food or the weather. Assuming either a serious or sarcastic tone, one member of each pair e-mailed the statements to his or her partner. The partners then guessed the intended tone and indicated how confident they were in their answers.
Those who sent the messages predicted that nearly 80 percent of the time their partners would correctly interpret the tone. In fact the recipients got it right just over 50 percent of the time.

Flame posts are a natural attempt to gain a enjoyed reputation. On a forum, it's publicized, but at the same time private. Allowing the user to initialize in extreme activities in resulting in either gaining a enjoyable reputation or a smurfing name remake to not receive a unenjoyable reputation. Giving the user the choice of pass or retry, rather than pass or fail. Social interations online are the same differences as going around shooting people and stealing cars. The fear of consequences are to a minimal in the digital worlds rather than the real world. And thus the boom in internet dating.
And that's pretty much the sum of everything on the online world versus the real world. Reality, pass or fail; digital, pass or retry.
