I never realized what an equalizer the various "Social Nets" are to the world.
I have always been one to readily extend my hand in friendship to whomever I happen to meet. Only when someone tries to take the hand, spit on it, or break one of my fingers have I backed off and wiped the memory of their existence from my mind. I have recently discovered that on the Internet, I need to be more circumspect in acting on my instincts. (Silly me.)
I guess the best way to treat the various "Social Networks" is to imagine them synonymous with walking down a long dark alley at 3 AM. You pretty much want to keep both hands in your pockets, and not do a lot of "interfacing" with the folks you meet. Thereby keeping your hands intact and unspoilt.
The Internet Equality stems from allowing folks of all "races", creeds, nationalities, and religious beliefs equal access. Unfortunately, this also includes equality for folks of all the various mental states, as well. The paranoid, the righteous, the "me first (and only)", and the "well adjusted" all have equal access.
Well, after a couple of recent episodes of almost losing my hand, I have finally "got it". I am chastised, and am currently allowing my hand to rest, hoping for a complete functional recovery.
