Good News: Internet Users Not Antisocial

[matt87_50]

hmm, weren't the 80s terrible? I wouldn't think we would want anything to be like it was in 1985!

I'd say I've increased social (not in person) contact with people since I've started using the internet etc. Talking to a lot more people who relate to you instead of maybe a few you know in person.

i always believe i'm not anti-social. Where are those f*king A-holes good-for-nothing SOBs who think otherwise?

I know I'll only get called a grammar-nazi for this, but the difference is kind of important. The behavior cited in the article refers to "asocial" (isolationism and lack of communication). Antisocial refers to taking hostile actions against others and persistently violating their rights. Antisocial is violent, whereas asocial just wants to be left alone.

I hope I don't get flamed too much for that one.

I commend you on your courage to point this out! I would never have known 😉

I have seen so many grammatical errors online that I have wanted to correct SO bad, but decided not to because I don't like the idea of getting flamed 😉
