If you can't be a dick to people in a virtual online world then perhaps you feel you have to test your ideas by being a dick to them IRL?

This appears to be the parallel catharsis argument to that used for why ultra-violent FPS don't encourage, provoke, increase violent behaviour.

[I don't really buy it in either case, but I'd argue it online to see what other think.]
