Do you think internet behaviour should be reconsidered?

[old.Tohtori]

We're getting more and more "internetted" and the time of only nerds and geeks lliving on the highway are long gone.

Now it's always been clear that over the internet, anything goes. Say what you want, do what you want, fear nothing and hide behind anonymity.

Now i think this should take a bit of a self-check.

Afterall every mother, father, granny and there variation of, FBI, police and school personnel, you name it, they are on the net. Maybe people on the net should start behaving more towards the real life style and start fearing consequences too.

Common courtesy, common sense, basic human behaviour traits etc. Should these be integrated into the net more?

With all the facebooks, myspaces, MSN, skypes, forums, pictures of self and all, you're not that anonymous anymore and you could quickly be held accountable for your e-actions.

I personally try to say things on the net as i would in rel life and avoid being rude to people, especially try to avoid saying things like "if i met you, i'd hit you", because you never know if that guy is living 10 feet from your house and has seen your picture on facebook.

So, opinions?

Ifaer though that it's an Utopian dream.

What would happen to FHOT?

 

[kirennia]

Completely agree...

Oh but only if along with that, using repeated shorthand and/or leet speak carries part of a custodial sentence.

I'm sure over time the number of crimes on the statute books will increase to incorporate technology & the interweb...but as for people behaving better, well, if they're not actually doing anything illegal, there's nothing you can do about it. If Fred met Bob in the street and Fred called Bob "a lousy son of a bitch" there's nothing Bob could do

I'm pretty much the same as Sparx, Generally nice guy, loves a good old joke and a fuck around. Very competitive and prone to arguments over the silliest of things, but I put that down to being laid back, and that having a verbal spat aint all that big of a deal with my friends.


Oh yeah and I love pussy, although since marriage it's kinda one dimensional

fuck me sounds like a dating ad!!!!!!

 

[Syri]

Both online and irl I tend to treat others as I'd expect to be treated myself. I'll joke a bit, if I know that person can take it, but for the most part, I like to think I'm nice and polite. Most of the time...

 

[Marc]

The internet was ace about 8-9 years ago when hardly anyone used it. Now cos of facebook, you get all the retards and chavs online.

 

[tris-]

im the same which is probably why im single. women just dnot want you to eat scalding hot parmo off their love bits.

lol!!!

 

[Ingafgrinn Macabre]

Yeah, but what if you are Conan the Barbarian, and try to be some random nerd on the internet?

For the rest, yeah, I just try and treat people as I'd like to be treated, and that means with respect, unless ofcourse they've proven themselves unworthy of that respect. This goes for off- and online.

Furthermore... Lol is a valid word in dutch, meaning "fun"

 

[pwn]

The internet is the hub of all that is good. It is the breeding-ground for articulated humour, discussion and progression. To control the internet would be morally and culturally wrong. Keep it as it is - in the years to come we will look back fondly at the freedom and diversity the internet provided for us.

 

[megadave]

is it ok to say noob irl? I feel like a twat if i say it but sometimes it's just so relevent
