My heart goes out to you Mete. Like Vesper said, internet makes everything big. People just rip others apart. Not that these people are bad, its just the way the world is and the majority of them are nice and they understand sooner or later but mob mentality is a dangerous thing. Its just that some people can handle it while introverts find it hard I guess; when they get targeted. I am not rationally embarrassed for what I said and to this day I do not understand what was in it that made people react the way they did and call all sorts of names and labels. Inky, sometimes there are some people you meet quite regularly and you know they’ve read the post, they just don’t know its you and its quite hard. Lets face it, no matter what our opinions are, no one is born with an anti-shaming circuitry in the brain. If its one-to-one, you can explain or if you get shamed by 10 people you can explain, but on the internet, communication is difficult. People can twist your opinions and project their own mind and then put the blame on the original poster when the original poster has nothing to do with it. An internet forum is the last thing you would worry about in life, but you never know what life has in store for you until it shows up!
