#674: STOP CYBERBULLYING DAY

I wrote about sweater vests, and nobody came. Imagine! Sweater vests, a dead uncle, and a vain cat did not draw in the masses, did not create for me minions out of unwary readers. The internet is crazy like that.

And the internet can be mighty crazy. After recent incidents of cyberstalking and harassment, including an unconscionable attack of Kathy Sierra, Andy Carvin has declared today Stop Cyberbullying Day, and he has created a social network using Ning called Stop Cyberbullying, which aims "...to discuss cyberbullying, identifying resources and solutions to address this epidemic of online cruelty."

So, join the community, do not suffer the nastier of the internetters, and even take it a step further: go out and be nice to a blogger or more today, because it can be mean out there.

I luff you Schmutzie...
write about Amy Winehouse - everyone is going on about her, then people will come.
I know.
Write about Amy Winehouse in a sweater vest.

I can't imagine anyone bullying you. You have that strong right jab.

It's like the rest of life. 98 percent of people are cool. It's the 2 percent that screw it all up for everyone, so we have to lock our doors and watch our kids.

Well I had to link to you today, and finally admit that your sheer quality of word use makes me insanely jealous. Does that count as kind? I'm kind of a bitch these days, so I'm really not that sure. But seriously, killer writing. Thanks for you.

I like you! I think you would look great in a sweater vest! Uhm...it's the National Kite Festival on the Washington Mall today and we wish you were here to go!

I'm just delighted to see that Andy's still the nice guy he was in college. Why I have to read a Saskatchewan blog to find that out is beyond my ken.

P.S. He looks adorable in a sweater vest.

sorry - would never have intentionally ignored your sweatervests! I've been away from the machine for a couple of days. not really in the bloggy groove right now.
