Be Careful What You Say...
19 years ago
I have a feeling that people will tell me that I worry too much about what others think of me, or say that the Internet is simply made for drama...but this is a very important issue to me, and I want everyone to hear:
Right, I'm fed up with people say that you shouldn't give a damn about what people say to you on the Internet, since its over-populated with stererotypical retards anyway (no offense to anyone). Well, I hate to burst your bubble, but just like the real world, you can easily offend someone off from the Internet, and they'll find whatever ways to ruin your life if they're willing to go THAT far.
Now at that point, you're all say "So what's the point? They don't know me in real life, so screw 'em..." Well, have you ever considered that they could ACTUALLY find information about you on the Internet, and use it in the most degrading way ever? And when people search that information about you, they'll actually humliate you in the real life, pretty much ruining your reputation in both ways? (And if you think I'm lying, think back about the events that led to the old Furaffinity to be shut down for months, and finding ONE CERTAIN ARTIST that was even made fun of on the Net!)
So yes: I really suggesting all of you to think about what you're saying, even to the people that actually harrasses you and junk for their own amusment. And yes, I'm being highly paranoid about what I'm saying, but at least I'm playing it safe instead of making a fool out of myself...probably ruining my life from years to come.
That's all I have to say from here.

MISERY....LOVES...COMPANY, mike.
so no, i personally still don't think you should worry about people on the internet. and like shinmew said, it's always people that say shit on the internet cuz they're too much of a coward to say anything in real life. all the more reason to ignore em.
anyway, sorry if i've bothered you with my one track mind on this subject. i still love you. :D :hug:
Then again, I'm no shrink :(
I'll admit that there ARE some crazy people out there willing to make the net the real world's business, but those are so few it doesn't really matter x____X... unless you're REALLY unlucky >,>
So our parents were *right*.
