Freedom of speech...

...comes with a great responsibility.

There is a certain difference between insult and being impolite. Using digital media is especially demanding. Sometimes we wish to become heard by everyone, and remembered forever. Sometimes we hope we could take our words back, and become forgotten. But one thing is sure. We can try to learn from the past, and try not to live in the past.

Well, giving advices is always easy =) But to follow them is another thing. At least I keep forgetting them all too often =D

Hahahaaa - yes, you are right, but the photo itself is making me laugh!

I have to work very hard not to be a nasty troll when commenting on news reports about a certain orange person. Comment threads these days are brutal! Sorry to say, the internet is part of our problem.

Internet is a big problem! But that is not anything new. In the beginning of 20th century, those who had most powerful radio transmitters, yelled to silence the weaker ones. That got somewhat under control by international agreements. But again during world wars, propaganda and all kinds of selfish uses of media took place. Now we are in sort of cold war, which we don't even realize: A media war I would call it. =/
