You Trolls Need to See This

Pardon my French here, but this person makes a VERY, VEEEERRRRYYYYY valid point, that I want you all to read; that includes my trolls.

Here is the message VERBATIM:

"I've noticed a culture on the internet that takes pride in giving the middle finger to things. You know it, you've seen it, you laughed and you've
said 'FUCK YOU!' along with them. You've reposted the 'Anyone Know Someone Who Should Be Punched in the Face?' blogs, and you've
taken pride in hating those haters who are gonna hate. My question is, what good does this do? How does this improve your life? It reeks of
self importance and breeds pride, wrath and negativity. This attitude is self justifying and phobic. We go around making fun of that 'bitch' or
that 'asshole' when calling them that does very little but MAKE YOU INTO ONE. Who wants to hang around someone who complains about
people all the time, congratulating themselves that they aren't as bad as the other guy? Isn't that what the BULLIES do- put people down to
make themselves feel better? Instead of blaming others, let's take responsibility for ourselves, admit to our mistakes and ask others to hold
us accountable for our failings. People are surprisingly helpful and forgiving when they don't think the world is out to get them. It's easy to
give in to this hate culture. I've got a lot of anger and it's easy to hate the people who have hurt me. Why can't we be the better person for
once and spread OPTIMISM and HUMILITY? You are NOT INNOCENT in this. I struggle with this myself, every day. I know what you're
thinking now. 'I'm not that bad. Only sometimes.' We'll never change if we do not see a need to change WITHIN OURSELVES. Next time
you want to post that rant or re-blog that self-justifying, witty, angry quip to make yourself 'feel better', DON'T, then post something you're
thankful for instead. It's not popular to love. It's popular to hate. BE the CHANGE the world NEEDS. Yes, at the EXPENSE OF YOURSELF.
I DARE YOU

I admit, I am a lot like this. When I feel hurt, I do the EXACT SAME THING, this person is against. I am guilty as charged. We all are. Please, read and take this to heart.

They'll think twice before they mess with you again!

Unfortunately, we all know that isn't going to happen...What are you doing up at 5 in the morning anyways?

It's an interesting point. I, however am not a pacifist and don't quite agree with it. I know people who hate and when people turn the other cheek all they'll do is slap them again and again. I truly do wish it could be so simple as that, but from personal experience the only way to deal with people who feed off others sadness is a fist.
But, I do hope that one day people won't hate anymore and that this will become the status quo, however I can never see that happening.

Unfortunately, that is true.

If you want to know why people act like turds on the internet, it is because of anonymity, and the perceived ability to be as much of a cretin and jackass as you like without any of the painful consequences of doing that in normal life.

People who just are extremely bored and insignificant in their daily lives, and as a consequence have a lot of repressed anger and negativity. Thus they want to push the limits, to see, like the cartoon cat and mouse, how far they can take things before it really gets out of hand. The fact that many of these people are most likely naturally unintelligent does not help; nor does the fact that many of the worst 'trolls' are usually under 20 years of age.

Pardon the expression, but from when I was 12 to when I was 14, I was somewhat of a little shit; a lot more petulant than necessary. The difference was that then the Internet wasn't what it is today. Dial-up was still a very good option then.

I wasn't the only one; it might have to do with puberty and hormonal changes that explain why some of us went from being a bit like dingoes to more like well-trained German shepherds.

In fine, the best thing to do is remember that you will never see face-to-face the pesa di merda who insults you in such vulgar terms on a message board, and if you ever did, you can be certain that he would be much more mild-mannered and meek. You speak the truth, and even if no one hears it or cares to listen, it doesn't change the fact that it is truth.

You have learned well, grasshopper.
