The first time I saw "LOL" I thought someone online was calling me an "absolute zero". I was
mighty pissed off. I didn't see why someone was being so mean in the middle of a card game of hearts.

What are your online war stories? What mistakes did you make when you first entered the world wide web?

1. I probably made a few mistakes, but like to think of it as learning.

Maybe thinking the Internet, or controllable information systems have some ability to control something. Maybe making comments a bit terse or with less clear metaphors, knowing they would be interped one way, when I think of them in a different way.

On the learning curve, I use to think posts on the internet may have been more credible then they were, however making nothing credible, news, internet, and even releases from groups, makes it hard for people to organize and get things done.

There is a group that believes in lying in everything. They fill up things with noise, to try and distract.


It comes down to this, if there is justice, things will work out, if there is not, it does not matter if things work out. So I count on justice, and until then just have fun pointing out that even existence changes. I do believe in compassion and mercy also, but until I get proper compensation I make the same self claims of what I will have, and work for the dual goals of having fun and trying to think on ways things could be better in society.

I can say that I have pretty good information I am not on the same internet that I was on years ago. Or it could be a reality thing.

:shrug:

Thinking the internet might matter more then it does, and maneuvering in some ways thinking I had anything to worry about, would probably be my mistakes, but part of a learning process. In other words, I use to maneuver with a few methods I don't use anymore in how I posted things, although I later decided that was close to dishonest.

Oh and I did go some places because of threats to family members, I should have realized there was not a need for that also, although I used it for scouting and learning. Although I realize that there was no need to present one thing and think another.
