Why should it matter? You made assumptions without really knowing the facts..and on-line or in social media that dangerous! Does it matter if you are black, white or asian or whatever? In on-line chat rooms people become too close to people they really dont know....and this is how they get in trouble. WE share information on-line but is it truth, lies, or something in between. Would a post made on this board have more meaning if you knew it was from a male or female or does the post stand on its own and survive scruitiny!
I think over a period of time you learn which posters like to spread rumors, or tell 1/2 truths or just stir up the pot!! The Crispers monthly meetings do serve a purpose to put a face to a screen name, and we all have found other ways to meet and greet people from TOTV. I have welcomed and enjoyed all the people I have met from TOTV.....including graciegirl. But we should all remember NEVER believe anything is true simply because it is posted on TOTV or any other social network.....or moreso because you simply assume it. |
