Should the internet be handled as other everyday things?

Quote:

In light of the recent spam attacks on SkaterCafe, and a lot of the fighting and arguing on the boards, I've been thinking......Is the internet really meant to be handled as a real life situation?
Most of SB-C's regular members have seen the*goods and bads*of a messageboard.* People can communicate freely, share ideas, get help, find product.....but the downside is the potential indecent exposure to curse words, sexual pictures, racism, stereotypes and so on.
But does "messageboard hatred" really influence us? Should we brush it off as careless ignorance, or take it seriously, even as seriously as legal actions?* I've seen all the names spouted out, all the racial slurs, and I will definitely admit to having used them. But does this constitute harassment and discrimination?

It should be, but idiots shouldn't have the right to use it, only people who can handle it *responsiblity* and not do any of the things you mentioned.

yeah i agree. ihate it when people just post a topic and a few posts later it becomes a spam war. Although i dont think that people should pursue legal action, i mean its juut a computer, but then again.. alot of kids use it every day.. Like me! =)

Yeah man your right!

I guess people are assholes on here because they think it does not hurt or affect anybody. It just seems esier to to cuz out somebody on here cause your not looking them face to face.

There is just something about not being able to see the other person.

Like there is this girl thats really pretty and everytime I get near her I get them butterflyes you know (I'm not shy person and she is the only girl I have problem talken to) but when I get on IM its way easier to talk to her.
