You know what makes me grin a little to myself? People online who make threats about making other people online's lives hell. I hate to emulate the kind of chat-speak I really don't like, but OGM ITZ INTERNETS. Seriously. I'm not saying that online doesn't mean anything as far as friends are concerned, because of course it does. Anyone who knows me will know that my closest friends are online, and my girlfriend who I've been with for 7 years was someone I met online. But... how the heck do you make someone's life hell over the internet? O.o
Okay, I'll admit I've had a few troublemakers give me grief over the years. I've had net-stalkers and trolls and you name it. I've had all kinds of trouble, but y'know... none of them ever made my life hell. You just... people don't have that power over the internet. As for the whole "I'm going to hunt you down" BS, that makes me laugh even more.
I would just like to say to anyone who thinks they're big and scary and cool for making silly threats like that: Get a life. Please.
