Default Online Attacks on Forums and Blogs

Online Attacks on Forums and Blogs
By Lance Winslow

So often folks on the Internet cannot handle themselves and they turn to attacks and verbal abuse. Occasionally these attacks move from opinion to slander and libel. Even worse many of these slanderous folks will use fake names to conceal their identity.

The attacks on good folks are a complete negative and they detract from the forward progress and stability of the group. For someone to label another and attack their personal character whether it is the President of the United States or a newbie forum writer serves no purpose. And pre-judging another you do not personally know is very wrong and bad behavior. Worse off so many people attack those who achieve or reach a level of status, perhaps out of jealousy.

It is a horrible thing we as a society do in order to corral those who go beyond the expectations of what others believe possible. Sure it makes us feel better about our selves and an excuse for our shortcomings. But there comes a time for those who do possess the true human spirit to say enough is enough.

Why do people online attack others in forums or Blogs? Why do they slander others or libel them? Why do they do this using fake names; why do we as a society or an online community allow this? Shouldn’t we “just say no” to these folks who have a personality disorder who are unable to control themselves? Consider this in 2006.
