My vies on this subject.

I'm not a mod, but I'm a network security professional, every year people in forums and social network sites are harassed, bullied by other users.

I can not stress enough of the priciple of think before you, press submit, because once its sent to the other user it can not be returned, or cancelled.

My Advice

1. Read what you write.
2. Weigh up the pros and cons
3. If in doubt delete the message / cancel it.

This is network security advice from a IT professional

I personally would like to see how many people have taken their lives after being made an a** by pretensious people.

No one knows the suffering others are going through out there.

As for myself, personally, I've come to find it's a lonely world and you can only place trust in about one out of every five hundred people so it doesn't eat me as much, it just makes it easier for me to know who to take seriously or not.

Think the OP is saying, just make sure that is your intent/objective -- before you press 'send'.

Uh, Sir, here we have a "preview" button to proof read our post prior to pressing "post". Even AFTER that we can edit the post for awhile anyway. So, I think it's best to think BEFORE you type in the first place.

I'm not sure what you mean.

Defence is only necessary if you credit and respect your attacker enough to feel that their attacks are of any concern or value.

He's asking you how his being an a** will allow him to get to know people for their true selves...

Lets say that there is a local mall where the same twenty people are shopping every day.

Let's say I was curious as to what those twenty people were like.

So one day I go walking through the mall pretending that I'm intellectually disabled and 'accidentally' trip and fall.

Fourteen shoppers will neutrally walk past pretending they didn't notice, one shopper will help me and the other five will point and laugh.

I'm not saying that intellectual disabled people are 'asses' or 'fools' but they are at a disadvantage than most other people.

If Willi were to go around pretending that he was a disadvantage, he'd get good insight into the personalities of those around him.

And in a world where there are many you can't trust, this helps to syphon out those you can't.

I disagree. I don't believe you can sum up a person's true self or whether or not you can trust someone based on their reaction to someone being an ass.

If someone is an a** to one type of person, that person might ignore him. If someone was an a** to another, that person might defend himself. A third person might try talk about what the "ass" is angry about. All three of them could be totally trustworthy people though, and have much more depth to their character than what their reaction to someone being negative might suggest.
