Many people are happy to spew hatred under their own names because it's the target that has the anonymity.<br /><br />Let's face it, there's few - if any - of us that really know Keira Knightly, so having a pop at her is easy. Especially if you're feeling low.<br /><br />"They put themselves in the public eye - they're dependent on us, so we're just telling them what we think."<br /><br />Would you have a pop at the neighbour next door? Maybe, but not if you saw them and knew the reason they look like a Vileda supermop is because their shower has been on the blink.<br /><br />How about your mum? If she looked like a Vileda supermop [This space for rent], you'd be furious or apologetic or ...something. <br /><br />That's where I think it lies. It's not so much who you are pretending to be, but who you think they are pretending to be.<br /><br />Whole slew of negative comments? All of them trolls! Except...one of those trolls might be a guy who's just been fired. One might have just come back from chemo. One might have worked a 60 hour shift.<br /><br />And then there's the professional rabble-rousers. Scared of your persona, they want to take it apart. A handful of sockpuppets, made up threats and insults later, and they've made someone a no-one again.<br /><br />Once you can reduce your target to a non-person, it's easy to kick them. You don't even need to be angry.<br />Really difficult to kick a person you know though, even if you wear a mask. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
