So now you're starting a war with that guy by your personal attack.
Why do people always do this in forums but I never see people do this in person, face to face? I don't get it.

Because you can get punched in the face in person, but on the internet you're annonymous and can spew whatever you want knowing full well that nobody can do anything about it.
Its related to the idea that more safety devices are making us more dangerous drivers, because we feel too safe inside our cars. Sounds silly, but the illustration that was provided with it was sound (and applies to the internet as well):
Imagine you are in a car that is invincible. Nothing you can do can damage it, or you. Could do a 100 mph off the lip of the grand canyon and not even spill your coffee.
Now imagine you are in a car with an unstable nuclear device in the back seat that could blow at the slightest bump.
Do you think you'd drive the same way in each? Same with the internet.
