A bit - I am sometimes short-tempered and often inarticulate in the meatspace, where real-time factors weigh much more heavily. To employ a bit of catachresis, in the parts of online that I inhabit, I am free to compose myself and my replies.

Very good point. It's a lot easier for me to make sure all the words come out right online. I like it better a lot of the time for just that reason.
