The Net

So I have to say something about our society today. I think the internet has given us a whole lot of great stuff. Ways to advertise, disseminate information, e-mail, blogs like this, forums, social sites like Facebook, MySpace and chat rooms. Lots of good things have come about through our internet society. I'm glad we're living in an age where these things are possible.
But, I have one bitch about this new form of technology. Okay probably more than one bitch and I also know it's not quite so new anymore.
My bitch is this, we seem to be allowing more and more little fucking punks run their mouths on the net now. The total or semi anonymity of the net seems to make these little douchebags think it's okay to just say whatever they feel like, true or not. I'm sure you all have seen my other posts about integrity and my page on my site called Straight Talk. These pieces of shit that have no clue what it's like to run a business let alone be competitive in a field like I am seem to find ways to hide their true names and post things about others that they usually know little or nothing about. This pisses me off, more than a little. Why, you ask? Well anyone that really knows me, not just knows my name, knows that I have no problem whatsoever bringing any issue I may have with you to your face. That doesn't mean I'm confrontational, not unless you'd like me to be and you show this by your shitty attitude towards me. Then I'm more than happy to step up to that level. What it does mean is I am a grown man and behave as such. Not some snot nosed punk that goes around yapping my mouth through the net hiding behind some made up screen name.
Lately I've seen this type of behavior more and more, not always aimed at me but it's still out there. I'm a throwback, a dinosaur that still believes if you insult a man you had better do it to his face and then you had better be ready to get punched in the mouth or defend yourself. That's the way it used to be done for the youngsters in the crowd.
I guess then next worse thing in my book is those 2 faced fucks out there. They know who they are, if they don't then they're a dumb fuck 2 faced fuck. Sorry, gotta call 'em as I see 'em.

Fuckin' A bro... One of my favorite sayings:
NO GUTS, NO GLORY - translation = If you are too fucking scared to use your real name, then you should simply SHUTTHEFUCKUP, and fast.
I do love the freedom that the Internet has given us - it levels a lot of playing fields, but the one field that does NOT need leveling is the one of GUTS.
It takes guts to say what you gotta say AND use your real name.
It takes NOTHING to say what you gotta say and hide behind a NO-GUTS alias or screenname.
GO GET'EM JOE! I got your '6' too!!

Hey, Joe. Wrote to you a while ago regarding US Kustoms, and your notice regarding their plagiarism.

I, unfortunately, get that quite a bit regarding some of my writing. The worst of it, though, is that you get certain people who will tell you it's okay to bogart someone else's work when it's on the web.

A while ago, I started having a problem with one joker who decided to write a load of smut about my wife. The worst part of it is the webmaster at the site where this took place not only allowed it, but DEFENDED it in the name of free speech!

I'm a trucker. If I ever see the sick fuck that wrote the shit, he gets a winch bar to the head. If I ever see that webmaster, he gets a winch bar to the nuts and another to the spine. (Assuming, of course, I can find his.)

Thanks for the comments guys. I don't understand the big deal about being a man anymore. I guess being a gutless wuss bag is better these days but not in my book. I'll say what I have to say and use my real name while I do it and then I'll stand behind what I have to say.
