Good point

I guess the main differences are.... with sites like TiBB - people are not being their actual selves; we all write through fake avatars here, which are like fictional characters we pretend to be. Our comments here are not necessarily real, they are written more for fun with a bit of edge and spice.

Whereas Twitter/Facebook are personal, they are all about the actual person and their actual views.

Plus twitter/facebook are very public; Also they are constantly used to judge people and to 'name and shame' them. Other sites like TiBB are simply not used in that same way. They don't carry the same kudos in the public sphere.

I guess sites like TiBB etc could be used in that way if someone was really desperate, and committed to trawling up any kind of dirt to try to harm someone, but they are just not the same for reasons above.
