"Real life" or not, if you're investing time into it, why hide from the inevitable aspects of it if it doesn't affect you? There's not a functional difference between how you perceive negativity based on the medium. Whether it happens online or off, if you can't deal with it on one, you can't deal with it on the other. And the ability to deal with someone face to face as a reason for not dealing with them when they're potentially thousands of miles away doesn't really jive with me as far as motivation goes. If a person feels like it's more effort to deal with negativity on the internet, I'd say they'd have far worse problems "in real life".
Maybe we should actually be honest about this, because what you're saying doesn't make much sense to me.
