I'm writing this file is response to some things I have seen going
|
||
|
|
on in #ezines and the HOE discussion forum. Here is what happens: some
|
||
|
|
people (styx, bF, etc.) don't like someone's (daisy) text file in HOE.
|
||
|
|
they decide "Gee, this person is stupid! I'm smart. I should try my best
|
||
|
|
to make them feel like shit! Making people feel like shit makes me feel
|
||
|
|
good about myself!"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So, these people get somewhere where they know this writer will see
|
||
|
|
their critiques and personal attacks. They insult this person's
|
||
|
|
intelligence, attack their personal life and call their file stupid. OK,
|
||
|
|
I can understand that you may not like this person's text file, but what
|
||
|
|
good does it do for you to make fun of this person? Why not offer
|
||
|
|
constructive criticism? If you really hate this person's writing so much,
|
||
|
|
don't read it. Obviously you think this person is stupid.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
First of all, how someone acts on the computer isn't the best
|
||
|
|
indicator of intelligence, but that doesn't matter. What does anyone gain
|
||
|
|
from such bullying? Does calling this person stupid make them any smarter?
|
||
|
|
why does it matter so much to you that this person is stupid? Does
|
||
|
|
bullying them give you some kind of sick thrill? Does it raise your
|
||
|
|
self-esteem? The only thing I can equate you to is school yard bullies.
|
||
|
|
The only difference is that you don't say these things to people's faces.
|
||
|
|
You have to hide behind your computer. Uh, yeah, glad I got that off my
|
||
|
|
chest.
