Welcome to the interwebs

I don't even know where to start because I promised myself that I will not piggy back The Perry Book-blog like all the other bloggers. Its ironic. They claim that she's an attention seeker, yet they posted in rebuttal to her post last week. I'm pretty sure they were thinking of all the hits they would get lol. Anyhoo...

Unfortunately Ms Perry broke the internet hehe. (Kudos to you sweets. That is one hell of a thing to do!) So I cannot post the brilliant article she wrote. That backlash though! But I suppose that comes with the territory? The death threats were unfortunate and uncalled for but the response just proved the issues she raised in the article was spot on. And it stirred something deep within her readers...

The thing is, you're not always going to like what you read/see on the internet. Why make such a big fuss over it? My mantra is simple. If I don't like it, I'll either scroll past it, delete the page and move on. And if its something I feel strongly about, I'll leave a factual non biased comment and leave it at that. Take the Yulin incident. I am a fierce dog lover. I signed the petition, vented on my blog and moved on. I didn't bash the President in his personal capacity. I didn't make death threats or called him a moron. No.

Which brings me to my next point. You keep on bitchin about how she should just go into hibernation and stop posting. Why don't you just unlike her page? Turn off notifications to her page? Why go back every time? It's really simple. If something upsets me, I'll just stay away from what or whoever the case. Or I'll just address the issue personally. The things the people said were really downright rude. Attacking her. The name-calling, the bashing, the hatred. The last time I checked that is the total opposite of what any religion stands for. People called her Satan and all that other crap. All for just raising her opinion and the experience she had. Also, I must add she is a damn good writer and her elocution and grammar is really exceptional. Can't say that about her haters though....

Therefore I can't help to ask: Who's really the wolf?

Move on, get over it and grow up!
