you bring out the worst in me...

there is no need for disclaimers in my blog anymore, and so i shall just write. today shall be a day i may remember a diseases called the world's big mouths, blabber mouths and bitchy mouths, or in short 3BMs.

the appearance of this diseases dates back into time, but has been mutated to become of a different (higher) level of deadliness by the arrival of the internet, and its formidability has been further enhanced by the blogs and publishing capability to a worldwide audience through the internet.

in the past, whatever one says can be rebutted, challenged and/or rebuked. there are ways and avenues for said nonsense to evaporate into space and forgotten over time, right? afterall, there is little proof of its existence after it was being said.

but now, alas, the advancement of technology + the need for bitching = irresponsibile fingerpointing, name (i mean mentioning names to call) calling X access to the whole world. it has been seen that sarcasm sells, gossips are glorified, and looking pitiful through it all is a skill.

and this weapon of the internet gets scarier with people passwording, and limiting the access of who readings the bitching. it is now kept as a private bitching; so justified as only selected people read it, yet the poor accused cannot defend him/herself.

now isn't that bullying at its' epitome?

where has the courage gone in the world today? if you have the guts to publish it online, have the damn guts to let all read, and have more guts the stomach the consequence of your sad, lonely, and very timid voice!

let all read, and make it accessible even to the person you want to bitch about! and if whatever you say, think, and do holds water, then what are you scared of?

either that, or it (whatever you wanna say) is just weak, shaking and leaky; that you just need a place to let your inner voice bitch in your loneliness and low self-confidence of letting all know how you exactly feel.

c'mon, think about this carefully, this is as good as print. the minute you click on 'publish post' and there is any form of slander, or deformation against anyone (incl. me, unfortunately) whether you passworded it with some 164-bit encryption, or some child's play javascript, the liability upon being sued is 100%.

even if it wasn't a lawsuit, i think being remembered as an irresponsible writer is bad enough. someone who is in so much insecurity that he/she has to password their thoughts and feelings. well, if you're real, what's there to be scared of?!

talk about cowardice.

i now fear the power of pop-ups, and if smart people can put their bitching on pop-ups to maximize the destruction of the 3BMs.

indeed, i may pronounce the curse, the curse of technology when blended with sore folks.
