The LJ Gang-Bangers

[callalily04]

I don't understand why there are so many young people who are so hostile and aggressive, and toward people they don't even know! It baffles me. It confuses me that people seem to enjoy to some degree ranting about people and things they know little if anything about. All the "snarky" communities... I don't understand it all. It makes no sense

Where does this post originate from? What has you thinking about that?

This girl totally jumped on me out of nowhere for a totally innocent, trying-to-be-nice comment I made on Ally's LJ.

lol I just commented in response to that and then I saw this!

It was ridiculous. Sometimes people don't know how to divorce a comment or something going on with someone else from their own lives, insecurities or paranoia. Kim was trying to be positive and make her feel better about what happened and this chick just jumped down her throat. I was like "whoa, back off bucko."

I love you!

I totally agree. There's enough bad stuff that happens in life without people needlessly adding crap like that.

The chance to be annoyonmous is one of the bad things about the Internet

You're so right about the anonymity thing. People are definitely quick to treat other people badly over the internet in a way they wouldn't in person.
