Are people getting meaner online?

[Audrey]

...or is it just in my head?

[DiamondRose1976]

I think so. I've been around the internet for about 10 years now and it really does seem as if people are getting meaner. Maybe they forget that there's actually a person with feelings on the other end of the screen. I don't know the reason, but I definitely agree with you that it's happening.

[Audrey]

I so agree with u. The YouTube comments are the worst!

[Kharmah]

Yeah there is a point where it just gets out of hand.
There was a young woman who used to once post videos there and she has autism and they somehow found her old diary entries online, home address, and telephone number and was harassing her constantly just making fun of her pretty much.
I guess they have a lot of free time or something.

[Kharmah]

It's because they CAN BE. It's just the internet. You hide behind a monitor with any persona you want to have.

[Crystal]
