I've addressed this many times before ...Kevin,<br /><br />I've addressed this many times before and the answer is no and remains no.<br /><br />There used to be a blog called, "You suck at the GO Train". The person who owned it took great pains to ridicule overweight people; poked fun at people for their race (one picture was a group of women waiting on a Platform with the caption, "Why do you Asian women all look alike?"); made fun of how people looked, and the way they dressed. <br /><br />This person posted photos of people eating and in mid-bite. This person posted photos of people sleeping with mouths open. Some of the pictures looked like he or she stood right in front of the person to take the picture.<br /><br />The whole blog was mean-spirited. <br /><br />I wrote an email to this person. It wasn't very long but I took offense to one photo where the person wrote, "This guy must be a pedophile because only pedophiles wear glasses like that." You know how many lines that crossed? Way too many.<br /><br />I never got an answer to my email but the next day, the blog was AWOL and it's never come back online.<br /><br />What does that tell you?<br /><br />I haven't taken my site down.C.J.

The buffalo said, ‘I didn’t even know you were there.’ I feel like that about Twitter. I didn’t know they were there before, and I don’t care that they’re there now. It’s just people, shouting in a bin. You should never care what people think."<br /><br />http://www.shortlist.com/entertainment/tv/ricky-gervais-nine-commandments-of-being-niceHarithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-81995985257786777772014-10-09T13:50:33.256-04:002014-10-09T13:50:33.256-04:00Right.

My aunt couldn't understand why he put so much stock in what people who weren't family thought about him. But 16 is a tough age and he didn't believe us when we told him it would get better. <br /><br />Anyone who purposedly writes mean things to hurt someone is mentally unbalanced.
