On Negativity

elioty:

marco is right that negativity increases when people don’t have to fear the consequences; online anonymity can bring out the worst in people. His post is worth reading, but, and this is a small thing, he goes on to say this:

But one effect is clear: remaining positive and disarming yourself of negativity is the most effective way to avoid being hit by whatever others are flinging around. Osama bin Laden doesn’t hate Canada or Iceland.
Not sure why, but this little sentence stood out amidst the otherwise well informed post. I’m sure his intention is in the right place, but seriously, that’s just a silly comment.

You’re right, that was weird. I removed it.
