A Balanced Approach to Universal Access Online

One of the temptations that come with universal access to online sites...where you
upload your videos...or have your say in a Blog...is to completetely slam anyone...or
any group you have had a problem with...in the past. There may be times when you have to speak out about something that's unjust...foolish...or injuriously stupid. On the
whole...however...I think it's a good idea...as much as possible...to reach for
some balance in what you say...like you hopefully would in your actual life. A thought
that's helped me through times in the past...when verbal or written abuse...came my
way...is that...serene people...would never generate such abuse...therefore...the
person who is hurling this at you...is more to be pitied than anything else...for being so troubled. What people who abuse an online site...by using it to hurl abuse at others...may not have realized...is they are likely revealing much more about
themselves...than about the person they are insulting. So...the words of the old
song maker who said..."give your words like treasures...measured every one"...may
well make sense...after all.....................Quester.
