People really love to leave mean comments on blog and nasty reviews on Amazon. But guess what--you may be unmasked! This happened to Dr. Stephanie Palmer, the wife of a British academic, who flamed other academic texts on Amazon.
Well, that blew up in her face.

Blast you, Laura C. Ombreviations! Stop filling my day with interesting, relevant or quirky things I have to stop and read and then usually have to send them to someone else who may be interested! Stop being the only "links" blog that I really pay attention to!
ReplyDeleteOh all right, don't stop. That one was a killer, and it just shows you that anonymity is a very relevant concept.
Wow. It doesn't pay to try to get ahead by sabotaging the competition. Major backfire! It's always funny to see highly educated people acting like ill-behaved children.
ReplyDeletePeople think online anonymity can protect them from having to use their social skills, but it's not a foolproof veil! Comments can be traced, so commenters still need to be prepared to take personal responsibility for what they post.
This brings to mind Jane Smiley's, "Moo."
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great link!
I have nothing to add. I just wanted to say HI LAURA. :)
ReplyDeleteJane--that's how I do, encouraging procrastination. It's all part of the evil, anonymous plan. Mwaaaaaahaha...ha...ha?
ReplyDeleteAnd HI LYDIA! HELLO HOW ARE YOU I MISSED YOU NEVER LEAVE AGAIN.
