Why do you think people seem so short-tempered online nowadays?

They are used to pointing and clicking with a cursor or a finger and getting immediate results. They expect it to happen in real life now, ... robot, I wish to be fed!	28	6%
People get more polarized by Internet algorithms and friend selections, which just keep re-enforcing their own world views, ... all my friends say that, so it must be true.	54	12%
Online interactions separate us from the moderating aspects of having a real-life conversation with someone, ... like when they buy you a coffee and a donut!	158	36%
I'm not getting more short-tempered, it's just that the stupid people I disagree with keep getting stupider!, ... I'm not stupid enough to argue with that!	117	27%
I'm moderating the results.	72	16%

May not add up to exactly 100% due to rounding, and all caps.
