Bullies in real life are most likely bullies online as well. My hunch is that people who lose their ever-loving minds online by posting denigrating comments about people they disagree with are the same ones in real life who talk down to waiters and waitresses. In other words mean people are consistent. Problem is that online these actions are amplified greatly to everyone's detriment. Be nice people. And if you can't be nice then for God's sake step away from the keyboard. Lani – LOVE the graphic. Bullies in real life are most likely bullies online as well.

Be nice people. And if you can’t be nice then for God’s sake step away from the keyboard.

I don't think that folks who are really being destructive give a hoot about their reputation. Indeed, they thrive on being malicious and causing pain...and the Internet makes this so easy to do. I suppose one should handle many situations as if we were talking to that person live, in front of others, or refuse to bow down to their level. Sadly, some actions taken by others behind our backs CAN truly cause a great deal of angst and be damaging in ways we perhaps cannot even imagine. There aren't too many repurcussions for bad behavior on the Internet. Lani – this was excellent. I don’t think that folks who are really being destructive give a hoot about their reputation.

You always need to be aware of what you write because people are looking, but if you can't be yourself... then why blog at all? Also, I think it's a great tool for all us to learn from one another. If someone wants to be a "total dickwad" then let them be. They are bad people and normally what goes around, comes around. Since working for The Dept. of Homeland Security, however, I do need to realize that this will affect my clearance and job if I do anything that would reflect negatively on myself, etc. I think often times people don't thing before they speak. This happens on blogs as well. My strategy is to just be me and f anyone that has anything bad to say, unless it's constructive criticism!

We all get angry and then its time to step away from the keyboard, not go down into posterity with unkind words written in the heat of the moment for all to see. Its also a big waste of time and energy that could definitely be channeled in a more positive direction and maybe sell an additional home or two. Heck, go for a long jog or walk.
