Question

Accepted Answer

No, this person is not behaving as a good netizen. Good netizens use polite and civilized language and show respect for themselves and others online. Using a fake name and photo also damages authenticity and reliability, which are important for building a trustworthy online reputation; posting rude comments can further harm both the person's own online reputation and other people's mental well-being.
