I'm always fazed by this point. 'It's the internet' . . . there is NO excuse for hiding behind keyboards and avatars. There have been some really vicious attacks on here, and completely uncalled for, so it that Ok coz 'it's online'? NO.
Some people seem to have 2 different personas, their (nasty) online one, and their 'real world' one.
Personally, I am no different on here than I am in person. I dont change my attitude or think it's ok to berate someone on their looks, choices, skin colour, religious beliefs, just coz they are not standing in front of me.
This forum, more than any other I am aware of thrives on it's social side, so the things you say 'online' transfer into peoples lives, and have consequence.
'Be excellent to each other' is a great idea, stop being a fucking dick online is an even better one!
