There is a story floating round on the blogosphere at the minute that is really quite upsetting. It's essentially a story about bullying and how some people feel the need to make other people miserable. It's a pretty sad indictment of human behaviour in all honesty and it's not my place to get into it in too big a way, not knowing the main protagonists involved. Worth noting I thought though, as the person this has affected most is one of my favourite bloggers and she now may be retiring from the whole scene.
The link to the story is below. You'll also find plenty of comment if you pay Scoble, Hugh or Seth a visit. Important though - the following link leads to what is a quite disturbing post, with very strong language. If you're not comfortable with that please don't click the link.
Here is the link to the possibly the last post Kathy Sierra will ever write (although fingers crossed this is a break rather than a retirement).
After reading this posting, I felt absolutely disgusted.
ReplyDeleteWhat sort of sick satisfaction can people get from doing things like that?
Those remarks should never have been able to be made.
