I actually wanted to write this about something else.

Pseudonyms are really great. 100% anonymity with 100% honesty- with out the repercussions of someone knowing it was you writing about them.

Sometimes I wish that the internet wasn't so-- internet-y.
Ya know, accessible to all the right people and all the wrong people at the same time? It can really be the suck.

Everyone wants someone to sympathize with them. Agree with them. Make them feel like they're right. Make them feel like they aren't alone in a shitty, unfair, illogical world.  The easiest way to do that? Take advantage of the internet to the fullest. Fact or fiction, anyone can put up anything about everything anywhere for everyone to see. You feel so important & intelligent when you're writing [read: complaining] about school or your friends or your job or your parents or the government or lack thereof.

But posting on the internet is essentially passing around a page of your diary in a high school cafeteria. Maybe you only meant/were hoping for only a few certain people to see it. You want people to agree with you. Or you want them to feel like shit when they realize you're talking about them. That's not really what happens. They get pissed. Everyone can grab it up and take a look at it. For every person who agrees with you, there a million more who want to punch you in the throat. And if you are doing something with intentions like this? You probably deserve it.

Though it's your own soapbox, your 'diary' and you should be able to say whatever the fuck you want, you can't. Not if you want to put it out there for everyone to see. You can land in a shit ton of trouble for having the wrong opinions about the wrong people.
