Why is life on the Internet so different from real life?

Whenever I go on websites such as this one, I encounter narrow-minded bigots of the sort practically unheard of in my city. Where are they coming from?

I sometimes think life on the internet is more real than real life... it's the unchained thoughts of some people who are often angry, fearful, and unable to get out of their own self-made misery. These same people are there in "real life", they just for the most part, hide it. Here they are free to be who they are.
