Keyboard Warriors and Cyber Bullies

I am always amused at the need for some people to try to cajole, threaten, and harass others via teh internets. Put a keyboard in someone’s hands, and all of a sudden the weakest amongst us becomes a fierce warrior. This is usually the same type that when confronted with their own bad behavior in person tends to stare at their shoes and mumble incoherent half phrases.

Ever watch a really funny flame war on a blog or forum somewhere? Chances are the one making the boldest statements is sitting in his mother’s basement eating Cheetos. It’s actually sort of sad, really. You have to feel for them. They are just like the self-proclaimed “nice guys” who don’t understand why all teh wimmens don’t fall for them and throw their panties at them.

When confronted with the keyboard warrior, generally speaking, the only thing you can do is feel pity. And maybe laugh at them. A lot.
