Anonymity and the internet

Why oh why do people seem to think that just because it is the internet that they can be rude to everyone else?

I post on a variety of different forums, on of which is particular to a certain product. Now there is a longstanding member who peoples rude messages into any thread that has a complaint regarding the product.

On several occasions he has been proven wrong by users in the thread after rudely stating some armchair fact that has no bearing on reality, only to dissapear and wait for the next opportunity to be an abusive penis.

I did wonder if he worked for the company in question, but his stated location doesn't match in which case he would appear to be just another keyboard warrior.
