I think it has to do with the whole way Schroeder is perceived. To most on the board, the face associated with his words is that of the weird looking kid in the one intramural volleyball picture he posted awhile ago. When you combine that with the opinions he puts forth (almost always contradicting the majority...toeing the line between "thinking for one's self" and "just trying to piss people off"), it tends to send people into a fit.
In short, I can see how people could view him as an internet tough guy...one who takes his frustrations out over an electronic medium by getting a rise out of people who don't want to be shittily disagreed with...but, in reality, I think he's just another dude who has his own opinions and, personally, I kinda like reading the shit he says (or, at the very least, the shit other people say because of the shit he says).
