Not sure what it says about us as people, but we all spend an inordinate amount of time and energy making sure other people don't know how we actually feel about them. Does this make us good people or bad people? Because we're trying to keep people from feeling bad, but at the same time, we ourselves are the potential cause of that badness. Maybe the word isn't exactly "good" or "bad" but "polite." We try to be "polite" to each other by keeping our frequently insulting thoughts to ourselves.
Don't let technology be the stopgap between your horrible thoughts about a person, and that person themselves. Because human error is a thing, and we're all bound to screw up sometime. And that's how you end up accidentally calling your grandma a "feckless, dried up old hag with the mind of roadkill" on a zoom call. It's not a great look.
