BioIf you are terminally negative and vicious, don't bother me. It's tedious. I write about what interests me, including people I know personally, especially if they misbehave. I use bad language if it seems appropriate to me. I'm too old to apologize and I won't hesitate to ban your sorry ass if you annoy me. I'm a liberal and make fun of Bush when I'm not weeping over the damage he's done.
About comments: go somewhere else to snark.
Don't feed the troll: People will make outrageous statements, and they will make them in a way that invites heated refutation. These people (and their postings) are called trolls; the best way to defeat a troll is to ignore it. Not even the most seasoned infighter can get traction when no one else is willing to get in the ring.
Remember Godwin's Law: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one." Which means, as I interpret it, that once you see those words in anything other than a discussion of World War II, the conversation has pretty much played out and it's time to move on.
God bless the bozofilter: This is a handy little tool that allows you to block out all the postings of a specific person. When that tree falls in the forest, you don't hear it, however loud the crash may seem to others. There are serial offenders online, but they can't offend if no one is around to be offended.
Ban the jerk: Webmasters have absolute power over their Web sites. They can just boot people, for good reasons or for bad. It's not about free speech; the Web is large. But just as you have the power to boot people out of your home, you have the power to boot them off your blog. And remember: Stalking and harassment are still crimes. Sometimes the real world is a useful place.
If you spend half an hour in an online forum and you're not sure which poster is the clueless one, probably it's you.
- Jon Carroll
"So keep fightin' for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don't you forget to have fun doin' it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cats, rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce. And when you get through kickin' ass and celebratin' the sheer joy of a good fight, be sure to tell those who come after how much fun it was."
