People always say that the Internet has got its good use, but it certainly can be a dangerous zone too. While I always attempt to make use of the Internet and see it as an opportunity in itself, I cannot deny the ugly side of it. This entry is inspired by a forumer nicknamed kajunteo.
Not too long ago, there was a dispute in the HardwareZone forums regarding a service-related issue. The victims profiles were then revealed by the culprit. That certainly caused an uproar in the forum community.
At the forum where I frequent, there was this forumer who posted the happenings of the other forum, so as to create awareness of the issue as well as to safeguard others. The forumer highlighted important points in the forum and his input, I believe, has benefited many forum members.
After a few days, another forumer came in, and started to debate with him. The new forumer's posts were accompanied by a few other newly registered forum members. Plainly, there was an invisible enemy taking up mulitple identities that is launching an aggressive assault. While I tried to post independent views, I was also being attacked.
The issue however did not come to an end. It just came to a halt as the forum is now shut down. The Internet provides a very good platform for communication. However, it can also turn into a good boxing arena. And if you are not careful, you may be boxed several times in several directions by fists you can't see.

Technology has its advantages and also disadvantages. Hm, at least Kajunteo managed to create some form of awareness and I believe it is being appreciated by others. As for those who attacked him, it might be parties involved in the issue?
