That's when a person says something in an email to another person that wouldn't be said quite the same way in a face-to-face interaction. Whether the email is angry, surly, embarrassing or lewd, researchers have another name for what makes us do it: "online disinhibition effect".

Many years ago, writer and Buddhist Sharon Salzberg asked the Dalai Lama his thoughts on self-hatred.
