I have been online since about ’96 and one thing I noticed right away is just how down right rude people can be. Seems the anonymity of the internet emboldens them to treat people much worse than they would in person. Why just this week I was called a newbie, illiterate, and a liar. Simply for stating a point of view on a subject posted on a forum I like to visit.

That got me to thinking about why some people will address others online in a manner they would never consider doing face to face. Well I think I’ve found the answer, go to this address http://www.psci.net/dawatson/ and download the wmv file to see for yourself. Even the police won’t help them.

Wow, all that and I'm not sure there was even alcohol involved. Her reflexes at least were sharp. Helluva multi-tasker, too, what with fighting the monster fight and disciplining the child at the same time. Actually, I think she was disciplining the whole neighborhood!

Dan:

The Internet gives some of the geeks and pencil necks a chance to be wise guys. There are tons of folks that talk a whole lot of mess and trash from half way across the globe because they know they'll never face the consequences (i.e. get their ass kicked). Same goes for people that have road rage; they feel safe in their car, but become the most meek people on the street.

The Internet gives dorks the opportunity to act tough for the first time in their life.

Don't lose any sleep over rude folk. They aren't worth a piss and they're mostly chicken shyts anyhow.

i dissagree slightly about road rage. if you cut me of and i almost wreck you've just endangered my life. depending on my day and mood i might have to punish that person before they do it again and kill someone, for the good of humanity i have road rage.

Folks just get the license # and report it. Getting shot or beat up is an awefull consequence for trying to get even or inflick some sort of punishment. We are human and all make mistakes, I appolagize when I fuck up on the road with a sorry wave of some sort. If the dude flips me off in return, oh well. I don't get pissed over it. Remember the dude your trying to punish might be me and if a sorry wave isn't good enough for you my fist attached to my 6'3" 310lb body will be.

I almost got my ass kicked the other day. It was the first time I had taken the new-to-me SIIa into town (shop) and I was on my way home, about 11am, not much traffic. I stalled out at a light and the guy behind me almost hit me. Then he laid on his horn for about 1/2 mile right on my ass then as we approached the next light, he looped out around me got in front of me and slammed on his brakes, remember this thing is all drum.

I threw my hands in the air as if...."...what the fuck..." and yelled "Fucker!", he got out, shirtless, came to my car, calling me pussy and all that and how he was gonna kick my ass and why am I drivin that piece of shit around on the roads anyway.

Too much to lose gettin' in a fight with a redneck, took down his plate and reported it to the po-lice.

Garret, it ain't all bones...but I do have a big frame:-)

Michael:

Smart, don't tangle with them rednecks - they fight dirty and often carry bowie knives. Boxing is one thing, but getting cracked by an inbred with a half empty bottle of Dixie isn't my idea of a fair fight. Also, they got no teeth, so they have nothing to lose.

Man, she kicked his ass. Maybe he'll think twice before hitting a female again.

I'd like to have her as a friend!

hahahaha.. One day in band camp!! Funny thing about the peanut butter and the dog story. A group of us actually walked in on a girl doing that. We were trying to surprise her for her birthday and well, it was a surprise alright. She was getting german shepard skippy induced loving. Needless to say one of the guys we were with was pissed that she was doing that to his dog.

I thought that I saw you at Assateague but, it couldn't have been becuase this Garrett's girlfriend had his balls in her pocket. :-)

Dan,

"Why just this week I was called a newbie, illiterate, and a liar. Simply for stating a point of view on a subject posted on a forum I like to visit. "

Buddy, you need to tell the whole story here. It was a progression: You went from being a newbie on the board, to making illiterate statements, and then showing yourself as a liar. I would not have called you on any of these if my BS detector was not red-hot. Sorry if you think my calling you on your shit was rude, but don't expect me to hold back. Like you said: it is just a point of view.

"That got me to thinking about why some people will address others online in a manner they would never consider doing face to face."

I am sure you are not referring to me here. I would tell you anything I am telling you on this board face-to-face.

BTW - to your credit, the link is pretty funny if not very sad.

Evan: The homosexual inuendos are not what makes you moronic. The fact that all you have to offer IS the innuendos does.

Curtis

Notice how I don’t respond to your posts, ignoring you is so easy. I see people who use poor English on the net all the time, some times even worse than mine. Sometimes it is in response to something I have posted, but I never call them on it, seems so petty. I try to address the content instead of the context, but hey, that’s just me. There are a few people in this world whose opinion of me I’m concerned about, you are not one of them. I will not use any more of our host’s bandwidth responding to you, now, nor in the future.

Dan,

Really:-)

I try not to badger you, but you just leave your self so wide open that it is too tempting to resist. Like this self-fulfilling prophesy faliure:

"Curtis

Notice how I don’t respond to your posts, ignoring you is so easy."

Hmmm...lets see. You JUST responded to a post of mine!! As anyone can read, you have responded to every post of mine in two threads. So how do you come by the statement above? Seems to me that your own dishonest tendencies have begun to distort your perspective of reality.

I will try to lay off on my criticism of you. While attempting to decipher your last post, I realized that there simply is no hope. Zero. None.

Curtis
