Clearly Mother’s Have Never Been in High School

An anonymous poster on The Daily Herald’s website is losing his anonymity. A judge has ordered his (or her, I suppose, but wait until you hear the rest) identity to be revealed after a local politician complained and threatened to sue. A comment was posted by this anonymous person that deeply gashed the politician’s son:

“Ur ghey.”

Well, that’s not an exact quote, but it portrays the same meaning.

If I had a penny for each time I was called that in High School, Bill Gates would be my bitch. Really, that was just the beginning of High School. That doesn’t count the numerous fights and vandalism that occurred during those 4 years. And that’s just me. This shit happens all the time.

Multiply that by eleventy billion for the internet. No one gives a shit about you or your son or your 30 cats on the internet, so expect to be ridiculed, no matter what. They aren’t going to smile and nod, but instead point and laugh.

It’s the internet.

Now, I’m sure she’s playing this up just to get some publicity. But really, it’s free speech, plain and simple. Ugly free speech. Well, I suppose it’s not so free anymore.

I’m so tempered by the intarwebs, I don’t even notice juvenile comments anymore. Someone should show her and her son goatse, or tubgirl. It took me a little longer to recover from those. Actually, wait, everyone should see those.

That way, really, anything else seems like no big deal. After the initial shock, vomit, and recovery, these stupid little free speech attacks will disappear.
