I grew up on the internet but early enough that the phrase “the internet isn’t real life” was bandied about, which I think made it easier to understand the different set of rules existing.
The Internet is real life, that's why the judicial documents will cite the real names of the people, wherever they want to or not.
There aren't different sets of rules, the real lifea rules apply everywhere. You may just also have additional conventions some people may follow online, too. Entirely optional and liable to go out the window as soon as there is a conflict
Isn't that belief the source of the issue?
