To whom it concerns……
After reading Bon Bons post, I cant beleive that a person on here has bullied and threatened someone so much they felt forced to reveal the most intimate details about themselves. In this case everyone is fully aware who it was that did it, I hope that you are proud of yourself, I hope that the anguish and obvious hurt you have caused gives you at least one sleepless night.
To other would be keyboard gangsta’s , I am at a loss as to why people feel they have a right to be just downright nasty, be it on the boards or in the chat room. think about it , many of the would be keyboard gangstas must have, brothers, sisters, wives, mums, dads , kids etc all equally as important, how would you feel if someone caused half the misery and anguish in their lives that you obviously cause those you ‘attack’.
I was in the chat room one saturday morning , and someone came in obviously angry at the world , saying some horrible stuff to some of the chatters, and i decided to pm him, I asked him why he was so angry and we got chatting, he had lost his wife and 2 daughters in the bali bombings and he was lonely and absolutely desolate, he came right out and said he had no where to ‘aim’ his anger. I spoke to this person for the next 3 hours and at the end of the conversation we parted having swapped email and msn addresses, he actually said to me had i not spoken to him that morning he had decided that when he logged off he was going to end his life.
we continued talking on and off for about a year, one morning i received a message saying he had met someone and was beginning to live life again.
My point at relating this story is that behind everyone on here, there is a story to tell, if you are upset or angry at stuff in your own little world then just think before you ‘take it out’ people who are only trying to get by in this world same as you are…..
i’m not sure what sort of reception this thread will get but you know what? i really dont care it is my opinion and whilst you might not agree with what i have to say and I know I will get a slamming from the minority, at least i am not deliberately hurting a fellow human being.
24 September, 2008 at 2:38 pm #375154What you say Cath makes a lot of sense and I think that you’ve (typically if I may say so) put in in a very sensitive, kind and caring way.
I will add this observation. Lots of chatroom (and Board) users openly discuss their ‘private’ lives and frequently disclose details about themselves – forgetting that what they type is visible to everybody. Even in PM / PC you cannot always rely on your good ”friend” to keep their mouths shut and not gossip to their ”friends” in turn. Pretty soon everybody is aware of what may be intensely private information.
Whilst I fully understand that for many, this is their principal form of social interaction and in a way they are seeking (and getting) support from their online ”friends”. However, (there is always a ”however” eh?) the personal details that they disclose very often get used against them by a small minority who appear to derive some sort of vicarious pleasure from hurting or belittling others.
The bottom line is that if you don’t want to run the risk of something private coming back to haunt you …… don’t share it with others online.
