a reflection of who you are offline...or...is your Online Persona an Alter Ego...a reflection of who you WISH you were offline?

Sometimes, the anonymity of the Internet causes people to say things online they wouldn't say offline...face-to-face...with the target of their negative attitudes.

Some people are hateful offline and even more hateful online.

How do you, as an Onliner, withstand the negativity thrown your way,(if any) because of who you are and what you believe?

How do you, as an Onliner, view yourself, online and offline, if YOU are the perpetrator of negativity?

Do you sometimes read something online and and wonder:

"Did this person really think about that before posting it?"

"How can this person be so hateful towards perfect strangers?"

"What is this person fighting for?"

"Is this person just trying to get noticed? If so, why?


Now...what if an Onliner wonders that about YOU...or do you even care?
