Something I don't get...

I don't understand some people on the internet. A good friend of mine was recently verbally attacked by a stranger who did not like their opinion on a certain subject. If that stranger didn't like it, why not just ignore it? Why take the time out of their day to send off hateful words to somebody they don't know? And if they felt compelled to leave a comment, why not do so in a respectful manner?

I don't mind if a person explains why they don't agree. Not everybody believes the same things. However, there are ways to not be a complete ass about it. This stranger was not being personally attacked or harmed in any sort of way. It was a disagreement that got blown way out of proportion. It was completely unnecessary, and unfair. Most people would never walk into a stranger's home and yell at them. Why should being on the internet make it alright?

One last thing. People who are commenting on a video of an artist you "hate". Why are you searching that artist's video in the first place, if you don't like them? Just leave them alone. If you don't like it, then that's fine. There is no need to be rude about it. Just don't watch. It's pretty simple.

If you don't like pickles, don't eat them. No need to throw the jar and call them names.

Go get yourself a life.
