The last few days have been pretty tense in some areas, even amid the celebration of the end of the year.
One of my favorite students of all time (Yes, I have favorites… I mean, that’s just the way life is, eh?) has been learning the hard way how powerful a blog can be. She broke a couple of my rules for blogging and some of her friends gave her the bad-girl slap for it. I think she was just blowing off steam and didn’t expect anyone to read it… or if they did I don’t think that they would care. Well, they cared… and shared… and what was one student’s steam turned into some hurt feelings. Whoops! Now we see why rule #1 is so important.
Rule #1 Don’t ever write something you wouldn’t want your mother to read.
Rule #2 Opinions are like…. bellybuttons… everyone has one.
Rule #3 Don’t throw gasoline on a fire.
Rule #4 Beware of Trolls, learn to love Lurkers.
