News & Opinions

It’s easy to ‘meet’ so many people online. Between all of the forums, groups, blogs, and social networks, you are going to find a variety of people and personalities.

Some of the people you will not like, and some you will like.

The ones that you like and form a friendship with, you will give them your email address. You will forward each other things, and discuss things you have in common.

The ones that you do not like, it is best to attempt to stay away from them at all costs. First of all, if you argue with this person online and things get out of hand, you could be banned from the website. If you have friends at the site, you will not want to be banned.

Also, the ones that seem a little crazy, might actually be. If you have any true personal information about you online, they can find your phone number and address. This is why some people always put false information.

There are internet bullies out there, that will stop at nothing. And you may wonder why the website owners do not ban the bullies. It could be that the owners are afraid themselves, or they are friends with the bullies, or they could be on the verge of being banned and no one knows it.

While some site owners have their own rules, and will terminate members with such attitudes immediately, other sites will let it go on for months or even years without taking action. The sites that do nothing, will find themselves losing members, the good people will eventually all fade away.

To most people, the internet is a hobby, an interest. When online, the person is looking for something fun, funny, interesting, etc. And no one wants to spend their leisure time being bashed by other individuals. Everyone has enough daily stress without this added to it.

In reality, the only way to steer clear of any potential internet crazed bullies, is to not post anything anywhere. And if you do, definitely ignore the bullies and report them to the Administration of the website as soon as possible.
