Social networking online is very interesting, and what we find is that you can get along great with everyone, as long as you agree on most everything.
As long as you go with all the prevailing thoughts of society and the thinking of the types of people that participate on social online networks you will do fine.
But as soon as you point out any hypocrisies, or inconsistencies in the arguments of others everything goes crazy, and chaos and controversy ensues.
On major blogging networks like Facebook, or MySpace what we find is many individuals are afraid to say what they really think because they are afraid of losing readership, or not gaining as many friends.
Some people go out of their way to complement each in every person that comes to their blog and leaves a comment.
Although this seems very insincere, there is a method to their madness as they gain more friends and us more status in the overall grouping.
What we are watching is primate politics in the electronic form in real-time.
This is very similar to watching chimpanzees grooming each other and making friends so that they can protect themselves and have safety in numbers.
That is, it seems that many people in social networking climates are protecting themselves and their self-esteem, which must be very fragile from personal character attacks.
And yet by succumbing to the wishes and the direction of the mass mob online they are indeed giving up self and person.
Which begs the question; why would they care about their personal character if they haven't any, as they've given it up to the social network? Please think on this.
