Notes About The Poem

"Why do some cowards hide behind a computer?
What are the signs of a person who is a coward?
Why are some people cowards, & how would you define a coward?
What is the life of a coward?
James Hamilton"

 

- Realize the Facts -

a broken idyll

                                  the trolls challenge is simple

                                             ... hunted - on the run






                * A warning to Nett trolls who hide behind a keyboard -
                         the internet is full of anonymous cowards  *

Great write, Anne-Lise. Somehow anonymity gives some a feeling of entitlement to hurt others without fear of recrimination. Cowardly is right. Congrats on your win ~ John

sadly both of us know all too well trolls aren't little dolls or monsters that live under a bridge - they are faceless beings who hide behind a keyboard and cause chaos and until admin start to deal with things properly then it will never improve on the site. Another friend has left one other has gone elsewhere I do not know if she will be back , sad isnt it yet admin let it continue:-( hugs Jan xx

why admin allow it to continue for years with the same person I do not understand especially when other people also tell them it is happening to them and send proof but they choose to ignore us - or brush it under the carpet - we have both been subject to it my friend :-( hugs Jan xx

It's sad, Jan - the internet brings out the ugly side of human behavior ... why ... they tend to know the impact they'll want, but don't seem to care about hurting others ... they actually enjoy it - Admin ... I think they like trouble - hugs // Anne-Lise :)
