Sure, but even then you have less information. For instance, right now you have no idea if I'm agitated, relaxed, amused, confused, bored, or taking a shit.

I could be pounding away at my keyboard or typing slowly while half asleep.

That's definitely true, but having less information doesn't change my tact, it doesn't make me feel better or worse about the way I treat people/situations. Like, I don't disassociate real people from their online counterparts.
