Trash talking gamers

I was playing Modern Warfare 2 online the other day, when I came across a guy that decided to insult everyone and talk himself up. Of course I promptly replied with insults of my own.

But back to it, what is it about being online that makes people so aggressive and continually act as if they had a large amount of muscular mass. Considering we all know that a majority of gamers are either extremely cowardly, twig-like and would run to the nearest corner if they were insulted in real life, or overly obese and unable to run the ten metres to the corner. So why do gamers always put up such a tough front even though they are most likely physically lacking? Is it because they desire to be a tough guy or are they just trying to build up their confidence online before they tackle the real world?

Well my guess would be that they have to live their fantasy lives of being macho because in real life their inadequecies are so limitless that they have to invent a persona to make them seem like they have friends in real life.
