One Internet Cancer Cell

If you read my first blog - you know that I am on a mission to stamp out internet cancers, even if I have to do it one 'cell' at a time. Today I am going to expose the most prevelant and the most insidious kind. A user who thinks that just because they say something - it must be true.
Users like this are found everywhere - but where they are most often observed in on posting sites. They gather like minded users around them like a cloak of invisibility and protection from the realities of life and honest communication that so obviously eludes their understanding. They depend on their cloak of friends to keep them safe, and should that cloak fail, they go on the attack and become rabid and libelous. One such user on Mylot is Riptide. I have never in my life come across someone as nasty and narrowminded and unfeeling of the effect of her words and opinions. There is such a lack of tolerance in this user for the truth that it defies logic. No matter how inocuous a comment, if this user doesn't agree the claws come out, the insults, veiled and unveiled are made, the twisting of words begins and before you know it some poor innocent user is being attacked by every one of Riptide's friends simply because - well if SHE can do it - so can they, afterall NO ONE has stopped them yet! I have yet to see this user say anything nice or half decently intelligent to anyone other than her friends. She has no tolerance for the opinions of others. She is convinced that other users are always targeting her and her friends and goes on the attack. Her hypocrisy is legendary to good users. She boasts about reporting people for the very infringements of guidelines she herself is guilty of - lack of tolerance, multiple accounts, abuse (foul language especially) and contributes nothing of value to the site unless she's talking to her friends - and there is NO value in that group anyway, so the point is really moot. She has no respect for the law - but hides behind it thinking she is safe! lol
She has no respect for the rights of others to express their opinions - but hides behind the oxymoron "Free Speech" for herself and therefore, it's ok to bash people and reduce them to dust. She calls people names, makes insulting comments about their family members and then boo hoos all over the site when her own 'power base' is attacked or threatened. She makes the most outrageous accusations about users and then when asked for proof of her assertions - poof! off the thread and no answer to be had from her! But lately she has crossed the line from evil into criminal. She is a pagan/wiccan, ( I have no problem with that,) so surely she believes in Karma. Well Riptide - Karma is on it's way........it gets all of us in the end, don't you know!
One Cancer cell at a time folks. Wherever you find one - expose it, stand up to it's bullying, don't let it defeat you - stamp it out before it spreads!
