All to often I find people online talking trash and making threats. This is what I call "Computer Courage". Of in which means those people have no guts in the real world. And the simple fact they are not willing to back up what they say to your face.\nI would like to know what civil people think about this "computer courage"? Keep in mind, We have some of those in here as well. Just ignore them since it's nothing at the end.

Interesting question. It's very noticeable everywhere on the Internet. I always have a mental picture of this little,\nsheepish guy with a pocket protector and broken glasses typing like there is no tomorrow with the nickname of terminator or some such,,,,just makes me laugh and put the whole thing into perspective.

I don't like that statement! I feel there are plenty of "good" people, and good people to chat with. You just seem to run into the cocky ones. But it's true, everyone does act alittle more cocky and annoying on the internet, than in real person, just because their identity is hidden!

I did try to discuss this topic with "Ouzian" in IM, to no avail.  Her claims of worries that her posts will be deleted show her persistence, fortitude, and concern.  ( I commend you for these projections of qualities, but)  The obvious glaring of extreme need to spread this word, this message, is shown by her >>(assumption based on avatar), other postings regarding the same subject.  It is also very clear that what her expressions convey in regards to this matter, are sprinkled with her fears.  And I also feel that based upon her posts, her links, and her blog information, that she wishes and intends to spread these fears.  It is clear, this fear does, as she does mention, help rule, and control.  (And I do agree with this).  There are many ways to control, or govern, a mass of people, and, some of these ways to govern have proven to be effective, and some very ineffective. (In regards to the best way for ALL social situations which we as a human race on earth face today-and there are many)  But the mystery truly is not what lies beneath Ouzians belief, and its possibility of validity, not at all!  The real mystery is why then does she not wish to participate in discussions in IM, or through other modes of correspondence with others, like myself, who show EFFORT in wishes to participate, and listen, in the direct concern towards her messages of understanding or beliefs, that could possibly lead to other followers of her belief, and help her cause?   (Persistence, fortitude and concern?)  To me this lack of communication shows contradiction in motive, shows lack of intitiative, NO EFFORT, and therefore, PROVES that some great "efforts" without real ACTION, are, like time does prove some things to be, ineffective, and, it is like trying to climb to the top of a pole that is covered in grease. (wasted energy).  I have many, many opinions in regards to what is going on in the world today, and have even been very expressive of these opinions to many people, through many modes of expression, and have always welcomed any open discussion to help people see the good, and bad, in different ways of having things work, globally.  (Because obviously, some things just don't work-that pole thing again.)   At this stage of the game, the most important thing is to keep the big-picture in mind, the long-haul.  Strengths and Weaknesses,  Problems and Solutions.   So, please help me understand then, Ouzian, why do you run so very, very fast, but insist on doing so by running in place?  Ineffective.  My real question to YOUR question, since I have already answered, and I will find it fair that YOU do not breach MY allowance in expression on the matter which you brought forth, in public forum, and at hand, now being met with discussion, as you wish-is that true mystery- Why did you even bother to post this?

lol please keep these fools in a reality check, they need it. if it is mean to speak your mind and ask questions that are of an honest nature then be my guest and keep up the good work. some of these nutts take a person's opinion to the very depth of their soul, like a total strangers one thought or opinion is the only esteem crushing matter in the world. mean, no just human and honest!@

isn't it interesting to see how so many users will leave you a nasty answer? would they be that rude if they knew you in person? i bet not. it's amazing how the computer just allows all of the demons to come out & say & do what they will. \n\nanyway, did you enjoy the pizza i sent over? i sent you extra cheese! hope it was yummy!!!

You got it so right I am enjoying it immensely. \n\nIt's quite interesting how many of these "Honorable, law abiding" citizens are quick and I mean QUICK at judging others. They are also GREAT at twisting questions. First they point fingers and now that you shoved this in their faces they retract by saying "we are not perfect" \n\nabout three days ago, Dateline had a special on Internet molestors... OMG! I shit my pants because all of the molestors were white married men in their 30's, 40's and even 60's!!!\n\nwhat does that say America? everyone here, except for a few, are so full of themselves and of this country. No one has the right to judge. \n\nthat just goes to show that these "people" are quick at throwing stones when they live in glass houses. \n\nGreat question and great dirt you pulled out for them.

I love your bravery.\nWars have been started over less inflammatory comments!

This is a really good question. Some people are rude, but cowards. They want to be rude without consequences; something they can't do in daily life. Not posting the E-mail address means they can't be held accountable for bad behavior.

I'm the type of person who truly believes in people respecting the privacy of others, and in minding their own business.\n\nI, too, have read negative comments on various cultures and religions, and some of them are very cruel.  I would  prefer to learn about the activities of others, rather than go with negative thoughts about things which I have no knowledge.\n\nWhat's making it hard for people on this site, is that they are made to feel that they have to "defend themselves" from all the negative, and bigoted questions and answers.

They might have been offended. Personally, I don't report people for anything, because I don't let myself get upset over what other people like to write or say.  Don't let it bother you, it's their problem if they want to be angry over something so trivial. Besides it's just a stupid website, it's not like it will follow you the rest of your life.

Over the internet we have the option of being anonymous.  There are some people who are afraid of life's answers.  I do not intentionally hurt people.  But I do speak my mind, even in person.

interesting, are they recruiting people or just stating things, or are they asking legit questions?\n\nfreedom of speech is kinda a right we've got, so they shouldn't be censored\n\nI'm neither one nor the other, but ignore it if they bother you\n\nIf it's so lame and obvious then it will only distract the stupid people from Answers and Questions\n\nno threat to us my friend

I agree that you picked the wrong category. Some friendly advice-remember if you post in politics, by nature almost everyone posting answers in this section is mad about something.  It's a bit of a hoot to make fun of, and be made fun of by, people I disagree with.  So you are far more likely to run into foul-mouthed a-holes occasionally.\n   Also, I would think twice about asking personal advice to complete strangers.  You don't know who is sitting behind a keyboard.  Well, sorry ya got insulted.  And whatever problem you have, that it works out for you in the end. \n  Best wishes.

Is it like trying to carry on an adult conversation with kids interupting?\nLearn to be tolerant, even of those who might be younger, less mature or less educated.  Do not allow their childish manners to throw your mental or emotional balance off.  What does it matter?  If they act like fools, everyone can see that they are acting like fools.  Perhaps if they are ignored, they will go away.  Perhaps if they stay, they will eventually have something worth while to say.\nIt bugs me too.  What a waste of cyber juice.  But I refuse to let them get to me.

Don't believe half of what you see on the web.  Anyone can use it.  Anyone can post whatever they like.  Not all of it is REAL by any sense of the word.  Cyber-spoofs are the current rage.  These required a somewhat twisted mind and worse sense of humor.  Many are made to provoke fanatics or overly sensitive people (in the eyes of the pranksters).  If you get offended, the worse thing you can do is to bring the attention to the site in a place like this (it will just get more people upset).  You could have posted a question (it is not too late) as to where you can report a site like this without referring to the site’s name or address (which only gets more people upset, unless this was what you were really trying to do).
