Online community
I must say, this week has been interesting where my 'online' life is concerned. A lot of bacchanal was happening around me and I felt hurt and uncomfortable. But I had some time to think about it and I realised at the end of the day people are people and they will do what they must. It's disappointing to see that people I thought had sense jumping into the middle of things. But I dont really 'know' these people, and maybe my expectations were high.
On a whole forum full of people, probably about maybe 30 active posters, only about 6 or 7 I actually have respect for. I saw some people revelling in the bacchanal, people who just showed up from NOWHERE and jumped on a bandwagon, then I saw some people who could really have jumped in and have a time, but chose not to.
It's all good though.

That crucial when yuh dealing with online communities, particularly the one in question. It's why I's have to laugh at the limes and social outings, because at the end of the day yuh know it all built on a superficial foundation.
As for this situation...I eh think I ever let an impersonal statement by a netizen bother me as much as it seems to be bothering some of these folks. What happen over this last week...simply amazing.
But say what.

I dont have anything against the limes. I have been to a lot of them and I have met a lot of interesting people.
I keep thinking Kayode, if someone else had made that comment, would there have been that same reaction or would it have been laughed off?

We both know the answer to that question.
