My page so I get to say what I think.....You as internet users have
the right to use the the "X" in the upper right hand corner to terminate
any conversation you are not happy with immediately. That is the fastest
way to end an uncomfortable conversation. Be careful who you talk to..
people feel more powerful and more secure because they are
hidden behind a computer monitor in the comfort of their own homes.Be
careful just how much personal information you are giving out. I have
seen people stalked by unwanted persons on the internet ...BUT they had
to get the info from a source originally ..ie..like phone numbers. If
you don't want it spread around don't give it out!! Also there
is a great thing called the yellow pages and internet directories, bad
news gang,
you can likely be found if a person wants to find u bad enough.
So be careful how much info you give out to that so called "friend" until
you are sure they deserve the trust of crossing over the so called virtual-safe
chat" into your "real life." Ask yourself this do u really want the hassle??
But if you are having serious problems please
ask for help, there are
people that can help and the fastest way to get help is to slap
them on ignore and make them chat with you in the main channel so an op
can take control and remove them if they are not appropriate there. You
are basically on your own in dcc, remember that. You choose to go there
so be prepared to deal, or able to deal with what happens there. I personally
prefer not to go there at all unless helping someone with a mirc
problem.....
ANOTHER thought, if you think you are going to have problems
with somebody please log the files,this provides others with verifiable
information that yes there is a problem, and yes something should be done
about it. But your word against their doesn't hold well in a court ot law
and neither does it on the internet. Keep records!! And share them
with somebody who can help!!! This is why we have ops, sop and IRCops
about the system.
There are organizations the internet that can
help and will prosecute
if there are problems and they are there to help, and very good
at what they do. Do drop by and say hi to my pals at #CyberAngels
they are
the guardians of the internet and yes they have a great home page
that has even more info on personal security on the internet. It is well
worth the trip to check out, some fascinating reading material is to be
found there.
If you have questions about any of this, concerns,
worries or troubles
feel free to approach me. Honest I don't bite, I have had
all my shots and i ry not to be intimidating. I would never to assume
all the answers to any questions. But 2 heads are always better then
one when you are having problems or need help. I am there to help
in a practical useful way. Notice i stressed useful, I can't do anuything
about that which I have no record for or can't see.
My code:
Count your blessings, not your sorrows.
Each person,
Has the right to their personal
dignity,
Respect for their own beliefs, you
don't have to like em, but you do need to respect that they are theirs,
and not get hung up on trying to change their beliefs to yours.
The right to safety, and security.
The need to know they are loved
by another in some human way that is meaningful to them.
The right to be recognized as being
human, to make mistakes and learn from their mistakes and move on.
The right to ask for help, or give
a helping hand to others in greater need then you at that particular
moment in life.
I really hope this section will create some controversy and some prospective on mythoughts about life on and off the internet.
