The old saying used to be, “If you can’t say anything nice, then don’t say anything at all.” Then the Internet came along, and the saying changed to, “If you can’t say anything nice, then invent a fake user name and go to town.” The Web has allowed us to get away with saying some pretty awful things to each other without having to say them to each others’ faces — or even put our own names on them. Anonymous attacks are incredibly easy. One way is to set up an anonymous blog on one of many free sites and just start spitting venom at anyone you want.
