Re: Feminism in Web 2.0: Cattiness gets me down.

I wish more people took the time to actually get to know what a person is about *before* they made up their minds.

Cattiness is a real drag and there is no need for it. It was pointless in school and has no place at work. I'm sure the 'new girl' appreciates that you took the time to talk to her.

Nicely timed for Christmas! I would like package 3, but is there an option to convert that to a donation instead?

I'm glad the recent 'Brogan Affair' hasn't stopped people doing things like this - you have been very upfront about what this is all about and I have no problem with that!

Re: louisgray.com: Be a Real Friend to Your Social Networking "Friends"

This is the antidote to 'The Internet wants to eat your babies' headlines that swirl around every few months. Online friends can be real friends in every sense and it is good to know that there is trust in the world and that that trust is well-founded.

Of course, Louis is talking about adults trusting adults in the online world. Sometimes I am taken aback when I realise the people I am conversing with online are significantly younger than me because it's easy to make assumptions about all aspects of a person from their online discourse. Keeping children safe online is a completely separate issue but is based on the same problem - you can pretend to be anyone online.

That said, this post confirms my view that, in general, people are basically good. And it's good to read such a positive message. Sometimes you have to take a risk and here's the evidence that the odds are high that it will work out.

Humph! Where you been at? What else have you been doing that's taken your time? You've not....found something else to occupy your time, have you? And the chocolates haven't arrived yet...
