So you're saying that the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory reveals people's true preferences? That strikes me as monumentally cynical, but perhaps revealing; what do people's anonymous and unaccountable opinions say about their normal behavior?

Looking at this through a slightly shady evopsych lens, my first impulse is to say that on the Internet everyone's part of an outgroup until proven otherwise.
