Dear Readers,
Have you ever noticed the difficulty in reading the tone of a blog post? Personally, I love when I read comments where people have the nerve to be ignorant, disrepectful, and down right rude. When the truth is those people writing comments are individuals who have no back bone and would never speak like that face-to-face. Online identities gives people freedom to be another person, someone who they aspire to be, maybe? Or if they are lacking assertiveness in their own life, lay out their “personality” through blogs posts/comments.
Why do we feel we can be who we want online? Is it because we won’t see the authors of blogs? Whatever the reason is remember when you read a post that someone took the time to write it and express themselves to the public. Plus you don’t want to come off as a total jackass when you leave a comment that you might find funny, but no one else does. Keep in mind, “would you say this to their face?” If not, don’t write it…I know I read all the comments that are left on my posts.
Thanks.
