Quote by roccotoolthe old 'hey, if you can't handle anonymous criticism on the internet...' defense is horseshit. That's just a (all too common) way for people to self-rationalize your own asshole behavior. Have some decorum, for god's sake.
Right on!
I will never, ever, agree with the whole "just being honest"/"free to say what I want"/"I'm anonymous so I don't care" bullshit. Don't embarrass, humiliate, insult, or degrade by using one of those cop-out excuses because I don't buy it and others don't either. So having a story on here automatically means you are open to any kind of criticism or abuse? No it doesn't. It demands respect, same as it does in real life. It's like walking up to a person with a disfigured face and making an "innocent" comment about it. "Well, I'm just being honest." No you're not. You're being an ass. Use tact and politeness, because you're not impressing anybody when you don't.
Ok, now I'll go sit down and cool off.
