Not for being Jerks for no reason.
There is an unfortunate thing that happens through the anonymous nature of the internet, and I suffer from this too. I think we all do to different extents. The unfortunate thing that happens is that we too easily forget that we are talking to real people, with real emotions.
The internet is by far the single greatest invention in human history, because it is a culmination of every other great invention in history. The sheer amount of information is unmeasurable. With this wealth of information, there are going to be huge gaps in knowledge. A 10 year old kid from Brooklyn could be interacting with a physicist at CERN and too easily do we default to an arrogant, selfish tone because we simply don't want do deal with them, instead of using the internet what it was made for.
Often I feel the internet is even sort of a diary for people, where they release stress. Maybe some ass hole cut you off on the way home, and now you get home and see these "Idiots" on the internet and take that anger out on them. I know I have done stuff similar to this.
So why then do we persecute those less knowledgeable than our selves so readily on the internet? Should this invention not be used for the improvement of people, but rather to demean them at the first available chance?
We have access to this wonderful thing, where opinions from literally around the world come to share. I think we too easily forget how remarkable this is, I know that I do. For a large percent of human history so far, the concept of "Around the world" was a dream.
So next time before you hit the enter key, stop and think.
Think "Am I taking out my pressures and stress that happens in the real world on this person?"
"Am I ignoring their opinion simply because mine differs, or have I actually looked into it"
But finally think "Is what I typed worth permanently putting on the single greatest invention in human history?"
Why can't we all just get along?
