Is it normal people get upset over stuff on the internet?

This post is inspired by all the cyberbullying topics lately.
I can think of only a couple reasonable things to get upset over the internet by. Being harassed by people you know; receiving bad news relating to something personal; being publically humiliated over the news or something like youtube; or downloading a virus.

Other than those things I have not been able to think of anything else online that seems acceptable to get upset over.

People who say they get upset over trolls or get their "feelings hurt" because of somebody on a message board probably cannot handle the simplest insults in life, and everybody knows life is full of those things.

Now I always attempt to be respectful of others, even if I do not understand them, but there have been times I have upset people as well even though I attempt to be careful of what I say, but I do think many people just need to toughen up and quit being a pussy because some troll you don't even know made fun of your post.

    Some people have a hard time getting over it. Thinner skin, as they say. There is no easy fix for thin skin, if someone is hurt, they're hurt. Have to be supportive regardless I think. You have to remember some people are truly upset over these things.
