@tlg847 I have no real problem with people knowing my identity, but I have seen people get so angry, in what could be a civil debate, that they wanted to find the other person, and do harm to them... That's unexceptable because the same guy wanting to do the other harm may post a bogus true identity and also be unafraid of the consequences... I don't know, something to think about...

Well, I've seen it, too. But, I'm not talking about people who have personality disorders, I'm talking about the run-of-the-mill person who wants to live in the world and who experiences normal human emotions. High school cruelty isn't the standard I think we want to set for our society. I know you never "endorsed" this but maybe you're too quick to excuse it. Thanks.

Here's the difference. In school, people felt some restraint on expressing their worst thoughts about her. They had to watch her experience the pain of their derision, her tears, her shame. They then had to experience their own shame, their guilt at having attacked a defenseless human being, gratuitously, insensitively, cruelly. Here: fuck it. She's a gimp. She's a crip. Who gives a fuck? That's the difference. Is this the way you want your life to be remembered?

I'm sorry to delete the video reply I made, Tom, but the sound was just too awful.
You forget something very important. Anonymity brings out the worst in very many people.
Much of the meanness, done by folk who like being mean, would most likely be far less, if the YouTube environment was not anonymous... If that meanie were standing face to face with the person on the receiving end of said meanness, they'd probably be far less mean to them... So the buffer zone of anonymity , I think is an enabler, but it's also a necessity... So the meany's answer is "So what are ya gonna do about it, cry baby?", just more cruelty................. Unfortunately.

@Opinionator52 I agree with everything except the "necessity" part. Anonymity is a choice that YT has made, for reasons I understand, but which has made the environment ripe for trolling. We all take that as a given and as part of the territory but it's not the only approach. Facebook, for example, takes a different one. Thanks for your comment.

It's nice to have someone use the word "mature," rather than, "crusty old fart who should die"! Thanks.
