I Still Don’t Understand What it is With the Internet

[CrankFate]

And fishing.

 

Brings out the worst in everyone. Including me.

[J Francho]

You are only in control of yourself. The internet works the same as everything else, save for the permanence. 

[CrankFate]

Yes. I’m used to it. But I hit a lot of money fish over the last 10 years (after getting completely scammed by those running one relatively big contest), though, so it all works out. Its worth it once you see your kids get some of those money fish a few times.

Well, if you don't - you don't - c'est la vie.

[CrankFate]

Such is life. Or as one charter captain put it, “Mi vida. El pescador.”

Glad I’m not the only one.

Best piece of advice I can give you is to focus more on your bass fishing game and worry less about what some person says online about you.

Not sure I follow either but not worrying about what others think about you is the way everyone should go thru life. The only ones I need to worry about pleasing are mom, dad, and God. Everyone else can go scratch.

Anonymity. 
No one has a face or name. 
They’re just a person we know we’ll probably never meet so we don’t care. 
 

For some people all basic human kindness and respect is lost. 

Which is truly sad

This.

 

It's the same with driving. You can yell and shake your fist at people you don't know. But watch how people suddenly clam up when they are next to that person at the red light up the road.

 

How aggressive are we when face to face with someone?

 

We are strange animals.

 

And I live my life for no person or supernatural entity. My family are happy with me, it turns out. That's good.

The Op was going back and forth with another member about stuff that does not matter. That thread got closed. You forgot to mention one's better half (Wife, Husband, etc).

South of Possum Kingdom. I see now.

If I had a dollar for every time I've typed up a response to a stupid comment, just to end up deleting it because it wasn't worth it. There's a quote out there that I really enjoy that pertains to this about arguing with idiots and playing chess with a pigeon. I can't post it but feel free to look it up.  Mark Twain has a great quote on it also, "Never argue with stupid people, they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience."
