i don't think it's just former victims going on a power trip. people in general have big hairy balls when they know there's no way they will be physically confronted. whether it's strangers on the internet or some guy in a call center or someone who's on foot when you're in a car, people love to sound off without restriction. if you think about it, it's probably a good thing. imagine what everyone would be like without an anonymous outlet to vent through. they'd all have to go back to beating their wife and kids.
