So much nutty stuff happening, yet I love Twitter, am blah about facebook but love blogging and usually bloggers. Bloggers usually take time to write thoughtful posts. Some are afraid to rant, but I did a bit of a total rant about social networking in a recent post. We're all going through the same experiences but most of us just suffer in silence.Denise Covey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07106490051555233439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1281469968333860626.post-75269461402177516862013-07-15T22:28:59.586-04:002013-07-15T22:28:59.586-04:00Give many people a mask (which many see the intern...Give many people a mask (which many see the internet as being) and they will be cruel and bullying. We must be the change we wish to see in the world. Interesting post. Bullies are out there. Like you, we must take a stand.Roland D.

The lovely thing about the internet is that you can delete them from your social networking sites and never think about them again. At least, until another one pokes its head out of its hidey hole.Liz A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531953467834426316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1281469968333860626.post-38777412007554815352013-07-14T11:15:29.774-04:002013-07-14T11:15:29.774-04:00I also think people feel emboldened to make bullyi...I also think people feel emboldened to make bullying comments because they can hide behind their avatars.
