It amazes me the things people can start arguments about on blogs. Sometimes I wish comments would be turned off on some of them. Because it’s like a train wreck…I don’t want to look, but I can’t help it. So I have to read everything. LOL
I was reading about a recipe – A RECIPE – and this huge argument ensued. The recipe listed “free range eggs” as an ingredient. Someone made a joke about it, asking why they had to use free range eggs. People started getting really ugly and some of the people who believed using free range eggs was the only responsible choice said some ugly things about the ones who didn’t care. This was a recipe. I just can’t believe how mean people can get. That’s why I rarely participate in conversations like that.
The other day, someone was writing on Livejournal about racism at a “Feminist” conference. I jokingly said, “isn’t that sexist?” You know, it was funny because…racism, sexism…. Someone jumped right on me about that. I had to assure them that I was just messing with the author of the post, who is a friend. I can’t believe how you have to watch every little thing that you say on the internet, even when you’re joking. People need to lighten up!

What really amazes me is the utter hatred people have on blog and news story comments. I find it funny when people who could care less, by their comments, on a subject make comments in a blog or news story. People; usually you show how stupid you are or how ignorant you are of what you are commenting on. There is enough negativity in the world; don’t add to it stupidly.
Exactly. And this was just a recipe. Some people must keep a lot of anger bottled up and then let it out on the internet. Crazy!
Actually, I don’t care.
Just kidding. š
Yes, unfortunately the Internet often brings out the worst in many of us. What might normally be a fleeting, critical thought or a humorous momens too often turns into a major diatribe.
