When Online, Bite Your Tongue - Especially With Those Who Do Not Deserve Respect!

It is often said that someone who is disrespected wants revenge, and on the Internet you can see this in real time when arguments break out in blog comments, on social networks, or in online forums. It's best to leave well enough alone when someone else is misbehaving online. Indeed, it even makes sense to give them the respect that they don't deserve, mink lashes to prevent them from attacking you, degrading your personal character, or even making up slanderous accusations online.

Yes, this only let's them think that such behavior is socially acceptable, when it is not. Nevertheless, you need to consider yourself in these online interactions. Yes, sometimes it just pays to bite your tongue, and not say what you're thinking.

Perhaps, this might be good advice for even the person who lashes out at you, although it would be best if you do not warn them or become the messenger who will later be attacked. It is hard to say why people act in such a disgusting and despicable way online, but it is the truth.

Some say it is because so many people are using false identities, screen names, and even avatars as they participate online. This can be a real problem. Nevertheless you should be advised not to get caught up in a situation, or trade tit-for-tat barbs at another.

Those who study the psychology of people participating on the Internet often liken it to a third grade classroom where the teacher has left the room, and will not be returning for the rest of the day, but rather a substitute teacher will replace her.

Now you can begin to understand just how bad things can get, but please don't stoop to their level, just bite your tongue and give them the respect that they do not deserve, and smile for being the better person. Please consider this.
