Anon communities
Mar. 16th, 2012 05:53 pmThree of my LJ friends are hurting at the moment because of idiocy in one of the anon communities (I don't even know which one, or if there is more than one.) I'm not very happy about that. They're all good people and good friends, and really, nobody deserves to be trash-talked by people who won't put their name to their hatefulness.
So, just to be perfectly clear: I have participated in anon communities once or twice, when linked there. I have never said anything to someone there that I wouldn't say to their face/on their journal later; most of the time I went there to defend someone who was being trashed. I haven't been there in years. I have no intention of going back. They bring out the worst internet behaviour and life is too short for that.
I'm not going through the bios of my friends list to make sure none of my LJ friends are on anon communities. I just hope that if any of you are participants over there, you're being excellent to each other, or at least not making things worse.
