Do you behave differently online, than you do in person? (Are you more confident? Are you more insightful? Are you more facetious? etc.)
The internet grants us anonimity, so we can expresses ourselves with impunity. This being the case, there are many that abuse, and even bastardize this power. This isn't an issue that's pervasive within one niche, but the entire online community. Just because there aren't repercussions for being petty, crass, hostile, juvenile, and disrespectful, doesn't make the behavior any less deplorable.
In the words of uncle ben from the spiderman series, "With great power, comes great responsibility".
When you treat someone with disdain or degrade them, remember they carry the same emotions, and feelings you do. One should treat others_,_ as one would like others to treat oneself.
This thread was more succinct, which I believe to be more effective. I'm certain many will jeer or deride, but I enjoy expressing myself.
Thanks for reading my thoughts, and I hope you guys have a fantastic day!
