I think posting a friend who's an idiot is very cruel!!

[Deep Blue Sea]

I was a member on a different forum and saw this post stating that she's got a e-friend who's an idiot. After I read this kind of post I was totally shocked.. I think that person is referring to me b/c I must admit I am sort of naive. People should not go around stating on posts that a friend is an idiot! I think it's cruel and thoughtless! Also I read that another e-friend of mine stated in that post has a friend who's an idiot. I was so crushed by that statement that I discontinued being their e-pals. What kind of friend is that posting a friend is an idiot, certainly not a friend! That is hurting someone's feelings!

they think, that because it is the internet, they can say what they like, and be who they like.

 

just let them be the they are.

 

if they bother you, then ignore them.

Well then I think they are idiots!! People should not state things like that.. Especially if the person they're talking about is on the same forum.

If you think it is about someone on the forum, then report them. I agree they are "idiots" for posting such things, and they are not worth your time, I know it is hard to not be hurt by what people say, but they really are not worth it, they are internet bullys.

take it as a lesson learnt that people put up fronts and aren't always who they appear to be. that's why we have mental filters to keep relationships in function. other than that, don't waste your time on people that aren't worth your time.

Are you sure it was referring to you? At any rate, it is not right to slam someone like that on a forum...I would say that if they do that on a forum, they probably do it to their real life "friends" as well. Just be happy they were only internet acquaintances and not real life friends.

Everyone can become a 'keyboard warrior' and say things they wouldn't necessarily say to someone's face. its a sad state of affairs, but part of everyday life on the internet. Keyboard bravado is another name for it.

 

Of course it might not be about you, but if it is then you've every right to be upset.
