For those who like to use the Internet for social interaction and to discuss topics of interest there are things you need to know about the Internet and things you might wish to watch out for. It is truly a fascinating to study the behavior patterns and Human psychology as folks participate in online Forums and Blogs. There is quite a bit of name-calling, personal attacks and Machiavellian principle that are often displayed. For those who study the human interaction of Teens in a High School lunchroom they will readily see similarities and begin to understand how small social groups and clicks are formed in online chat rooms, Internet forms and interactive Blogs.

The interesting thing is that with the Internet you often have a record of what was said and who set off who with a snide comment, personal attack or inappropriate comment. Indeed, what appears to be very childish is indeed, more of what people are thinking in everyday life. The difference of course is that the participants often use Multiple User Names and handles rather than their real names and this anonymity much like those wearing masks at a Halloween Costume Party, allows the players to say things they normally never would in public or in front of a real person, but are most likely thinking.

Often what starts as a friendly debate rapidly turns into slander, libel and personal attacks on ones character and indeed there is an abundance of revenge motivated disrespect. In this my articles on Blogging Psychology I often discuss tactics to prevent being disrespected without giving up your passion for the subject or your personal position in online debates. You might also discuss how you can join up with other users to quell a hostile participant into a more peaceful displacement, as well as drive them insane if you so desire, as they say all is fair in Love and Online.

I appreciate you reading this article and all the others I have written on this subject, as it is the accumulated work of several 1000s of hours online chatting and participating in online forums. I hope you love the examples used and would also invite you to email me with comments, questions, case studies and stories, so we can get those into our next edition. Thanks again. Perhaps this article is of interest to propel thought in 2007?
