It is the same reason, but that is not it.
It is because in a car or on a forum, they are dehumanized. Driving, it is that "GD Prius that cut me off," not "the old lady in the Prius." Here it is, that "drunken fool dipso," that "pillow biter norm" or that "right wing wack job tobra."
If you don't see the person, literally, it is easier not to see that there is a person.
