What I got from this secret:

"YOU GUISE IT'S NOT FAIR THAT PEOPLE AREN'T PLAYING BY MY ARBITRARY RULES SO I'M GOING TO MAKE A FALSE COMPARISON TO BEAHAVIOUR IN THE WORKPLACE WHERE PEOPLE HAVE SIGNED CONTRACTS REGARDING BEHAVIOUR"

Dear OP: Yes, some people are asshats online. However, they are generally allowed to be asshats on the internet. If you think they are violating a rule of some sort, report them to the people who enforce the rules. If they are being asshats in your space (eg, your journal), ban them or otherwise lock things down until they lose interest and go away. If neither of these things apply, then leave them alone and save yourself the aggravation and F!S the eyerolling. You cannot enforce any standard of decency on people.

[(Anonymous)]

the only reason they're "allowed" is because they're hiding behind screen names rather than spouting their rudeness in real life.

[(Anonymous)]

No, they're allowed because there's no rule against it. What you're suggesting is that they're getting away with breaking a social contract, which is ephemeral and non-binding at best, and is quite often ignored. If you're lamenting your inability to metaphorically chase someone out of town, then I wish you luck maintaining your sanity while banging your head against a brick wall in an attempt to deal with the asshats of the world.

okay I have no plans on physically chasing people down. My main problem is that being rude is not just tolerated or ignored, on many spots on the internet it's ENCOURAGED. People being rude are cheered on and supported and told their actions are cool and tough and the people they are being rude to are blamed for their behavior .

Hell on one art site i went to I was a little shocked by the mantra "being bullied? Just deactivate your account". Let's think about that logic. "being harassed by someone? It's YOUR responsibility to leave rather than the admin's responsibility to stop harassment or people who harass people to um I dunno stop fucking harassing people. I don't care that people are rude in all honesty. I just want them to be held accountable for their own behavior and not get away with "i'm rude because i'm on the internet get used to it". I mean even I know that when I'm an ass,it's because i'm a hot headed ass who's too quick to speak.

Yeah, no one is ever an asshole on facebook with their real name or anything
