Where I've been...

April 28th, 2008 9:44 pm MDT

So...I've been away for a while.  Why?  I've been thinking about how to carefully explain my feelings about this online world.   I couldn't think of a good way to express myself so I guess I'll just be blunt.  I don't like what I've been seeing lately on Youtube!  There I said it...whew.  Seriously though, some of the "girls" posting videos are not representing us fairly.  I'm embarrassed by some the behavior.  I don't know.  I didn't want to sound like a Bitch about this but it's apparently unavoidable.  I'll shut up now.

    I think that's the nature of the online world in general. Anonymity, unfortunately, causes many people to behave in ways they'd never behave in the "real world". I don't think it's something that's unique to the TG Community either. For virtually every kind of person that posts on Youtube, or URNA or any other online community, there are lots of people who do things online that they'd never even consider doing in the "real world". Now, the question is, over time, as more and more of our lives are spent online, will the online world start to become more like the "real world" or vice versa.

    Re: Where I've been... Polly Andersen May 1st, 2008 9:28 pm MDT Jon, you are absolutely correct.  My concern is (and I'm sure you understand this as well as any of us) is that when the "outside" world comes across this garbage, it becomes the "standard" for what and who we are (at least in their eyes).  All right, I'll say something positive now..."Eh hm" This site is a true oasis for me and some of my friends.  Thanks Jon :)   Polly
