It's unnecessary and needs to be stopped because people feel so at ease at doing it!

Truth is, they are just as ridiculous as they make themselves look through their behaviour. Ignore, block and look the other way, leave the small minds to it!

I was also brought up to follow the phrase; if you can't say anything good don't say anything at all. I recently had quite a negative comment on a post and it was fantastic to see so many bloggers come out in support in their following comments. I think in general we have a great community! Well done for standing up and being counted. I hope someone would do that for my autistic son. Really great post!

Sometimes people join in with these nasty threads because they feelnits better to be doing it than receiving it. <br />Im not that way inclined.

Bullying is sick and I dislike how it's justified by many as being ok because they're looking at it from behind a screen.

Once or twice I have gotten fed up and spoke up about it and called people out. It may have been wrong of me to do so, but no one else was doing it. <br /><br />I too also have a disability, and feel ashamed of it at times. I try to joke and play it off, and have a sense of humor about it. I don't normally talk about it with people outside my circle of family and friends.<br />But anyways, sorry I've been away and not in the blog game for a bit. I do that from time to time.<br /> But it's good to be back and see you guys again!Brian (LoCo Dad) Scotthttp://locodad.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-711396098826909299.post-86764751880654194692015-10-28T13:06:28.743+00:002015-10-28T13:06:28.743+00:00Great post buddy.
I was just having some of the ...Great post buddy. <br /> I was just having some of the same thoughts myself the other day, I don't know why people feel the need to be so mean and nasty all the time. <br />I've started to think there are two main reasons. <br />1) They themselves are hurting and have had people being mean to them. It doesn't make a lot of intrinsic sense but people who have been abused are significantly more likely to abuse others. You would think it would be the opposite but evidently we just tend to repeat behaviors we see. <br />2) The Internet has "buffered" us from realizing that there are real people on the other side of our computer and we say things we would never say to people in real life. Add to that, the fact written words can be misunderstood due to not having tone and voice inflection cues that we get from face to face contact. <br />Anyway, I hope you and your boys are well. Take care :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07745451781582707565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-711396098826909299.post-10960801381503965792015-10-28T10:11:48.076+00:002015-10-28T10:11:48.076+00:00Huzzah to happy little bubbles!
