When leaving a rude comment online, have you ever thought about the person who’s bound to read it? Did you ever think that it would offend them?
I know that the internet should never be taken seriously but since modern times have made it a regular part of our routines, most people out there take it seriously. If people can solve murders, ruin companies, and start sex scandals on the internet, then you can sure as hell offend someone and even go as extreme as driving them into depression.
I’m just saying, because people keep pissing me off left and right. I try to stay courteous. There are some cases where people ask a simple question and people, instead of briefly answering, flame him or her for being “stupid.” And others where people get angry for poor reasons and leave rude comments. I can’t help but forget my manners and teach them a good lesson.
Just conduct yourself as you would anywhere else in the world besides in front of a computer. The internet is a powerful thing. Don’t underestimate it.
