Online Anonymous

When we started this topic of being online anonymously, and trolling I knew I wasn't going to enjoy it. I already knew my position on this topic and I knew I wasn't going to change it. The one thing I would say I did learn was the multiple ways it can be used for good. I think we all need to stop treating everyone as if they can't handle anything negative or mean because that is not a realistic representation of the real world. We are guarding them from what happens in the world. So when they are faced with these negative situations they freak out and panic not knowing what to do. There reaction to these things is to silence those who are saying those thing, while of course they aren't nice at times but they have the right to say. There is no way around it, we have freedom of speech and any limits or conditions put around it would be infringing on that right.

  1. I definitely agree with this. You and I had always had this discussion. I do believe people are way too sensitive and not realizing that the real world is not a nice place. Those people who take it too personally wont learn how to cope with the struggles of life.
