I know why we are (myself included). We're growing up/have grown up behind computers, and that because you'll never see the person you're talking to, you feel entitled to be a dick.
I don't come here saying "Who can I be an asshole to?", but I certainly don't seem to mind telling someone that their opinion is off-base in what can be seen as condescending. However, words don't have the power of vocal interpretation (tone, facial expressions, etc), so a lot of the message is harder to receive.
I'm also of the belief that all human beings are arrogant in their own way. They always love talking about themselves, they always think their opinion is right, and they love making sure someone knows it. Some are more arrogant than others, but it's typical human behavior and nature that I see in all aspects of life. It's really how the perceptor of these behaviors rolls with it.
