This is a question Pure Fury

A friend's dad once stormed up to me and threatened to "punch your stupid face in" because I pointed a camera at him. I was 11. Have you ever done something innocent or made a harmless joke that ended in threats to your person? Tell us about it.

Thanks to Skullfunkerry for the suggestion

That's right.
Best ignore this sort of low-brow rubbish.

Hey here's an idea - why not write a parody of this post. That'll totes put me in my place.

Ewww!
Don't you just hate in when men in their late fifties use terms like 'totes'?

It's just plain wrong.

Easily done.
I'll keep it short and to the point too.

"I'm honestly not being upset on the Internet at all. See, doesn't this prove it?"

^UPSET ONLINE OMG^

I've never really understood all this 'upset online' business.
If you're having a disagreement with someone over the phone - do you suddenly shout: 'Ha! Upset on the TELEPHONE!'

He's upset. The medium he's upset on is the internet. Ergo he's upset online. Goes without saying, no?

I have to agree actually
Although, when it's quite apparent that some ones upset, and they do the internet equivalent of sticking out their bottom lip, crossing their arms and shouting "I'm not upset!" it really is quite amusing.

There is that.

Truedat
But I suspect that for every example like the one you stated, there are hundreds more where the person accused of being 'upset online' merely rolls their eyes and plods on. It's for this reason (and the general overuse of 'upset online' accusation as a wind-up exercise) why I think it seems to have lost its way somewhat lately IMO.

*awaits accusations of being upset / angry / taking it too seriously etc*

When the former happens, it doesn't attract attention.
It's only when someone goes on the defensive, do people start continuously using it as a rib.
