I think that comes down to being on The Internet. Most people are a bit more mindful of their interactions in person (most, not all)
Ha! I hadn't heard that term before, but what an apt description. It suggests that maybe I should be less sad than I normally am about how horrible people are. Which isn't to say that they're not horrible, but that their behavior online maybe should be given less weight than I generally attribute to it.
Also makes you wonder how you could architect things s.t. people were less fuckwaddish than they might default to being using the standard paradigm.

Yea, idk if there's a way to get people to be less fuckwadish. That comic is from 2004, far before we got toxic social media. Certainly we can do less to encourage it through design (looking at you, Twitter)
