I think that's the point, if you're an asshole online, but tell yourself you're fine irl. You're lying to yourself and it shows.

    It doesn't contradict the premise at all. In fact, I think the person I described is the exact person the post is talking about, i.e. someone who is convinced that their actions online don't translate to who they are irl.

    It's true that one instance of anger doesn't mean the person is an asshole. The point of the post is that your post history on social media is often a more accurate portrait of your personality irl than some people want to admit.
