Reposted from my tumblr blog. Really bugs me a lot these days that people seem to think verbal abuse and harassment=free speech, It really isn’t. People tend to think the net has no consquences and people on it are just a bunch of NPCs you can mess around with. They are really not, these are REAL human beings that are using this service, same as those that use the phone, mail etc. You’d never phone someone up and shout abuse at them, death threats etc…hell if you did that a lot you’d end up investgated by law enforcement. Lets say you went in front of someones house IRL and screamed death threats and abuse at their windows…you’ll most likely end up in a cell for the night. Heck if you went to a random guy on the street and did it there is a 40% chance you may end up with a black eye. Hell if you went up to a cop and went “Haha I hope you die arsehole!” He’s going to well…nick you. Heavy harassment, verbal abuse, death threats etc should have consequences no matter where they happen, it’s not cool ya dig? Now I’m not talking about pranking people, minor trolling, jokes and such they are fine but I’m talking about the really toxic harassment you get online. And post as many Captain Picard youtube speeches as you like. I bet you’d never see him behave in that manor or anyone in the federation. Because ya know the federation is a “civilized society” and if Picard went to a fellow federation officer and told him “Go die fgt.” He’d get well discharged. https://youtube/watch?v=N_yJFLvmjJY Moral is never be a dick to someone and treat people the way you want to be treated.
