scatterbrained

I feel like this far into the unit I’ve formulated my opinion on trolling and why I think it’s just unnecessary as far as bullying/harassment goes. I understand that it’s a significant topic to those who have contrarian opinions, but this is how I see it: Why get upset over something you see on the internet that is negatively about you? I don’t know I guess, I don’t feel any connection personally towards digital words on a screen, but that’s just me. I’m about to start my first draft for this unit and I still feel like there’s not enough for me to write despite all of the articles and discussions we’ve had in class. With that being said, my draft isn’t going to be my complete thoughts. To give you an idea on where I stand about this anonymity issue, I really can’t say that anonymity is a bad or good thing because there are pros and cons of having anonymity, also I believe it depends on whether you’re a victim of troll abuse or just a person seeking to remain anon for safety concerns. There are so many factors that come into play here regarding this issue and I guess I’m just trying to seek for that one. Oh and another thing, grammar is going to be essential when typing this paper, which, even though it’s pretty easy, I really suck at it. Once I have my first draft done I think I can better formulate a stronger opinion than I have now.

  1. I agree with you although we have been reading about online anonymity I have no idea where I stand on the topic. I do believe that there are both pros and cons when it comes to online anonymity, one can try to push the negative comments that trolls will post but it still has some effect on us. There is not an effective way to really put a stop to trolls.
