I do not know what to write or how to make it long but lately I have experienced 2 cases of online humiliation. Online humiliation as I describe is mostly to do with social networking sites such as Orkut or Facebook where when you send a friend's request whom you know(read acquaintance) either out rightly rejects the request, never accepts or deny it, or accepts and later denies it .
I find this thing very offending and annoying. If you know someone there's no point in denying or keep it pending mode and even if you don't want to add I think sending a polite message stating your inability to do so, is what I think a good gesture but some people really lack basic etiquette though they might be sitting in top notch company or in a developed nation like USA as I most often hear from offenders. I never thought of denying a request even of a stranger if I find some interest which are common like Computer science, electronic gadgetry or pets.
I believe everyone is gifted with something therefore there's no point in showing off that you are more gifted or you are top notch. After 26 years of existence and experiencing a lot of people, hardly any one care who you are. Be good and all will be good with you, this is what I believe.
Life is long, who knows when we bump into each other, when we cross the same road. The best we can do is to be friendly with everyone, who knows when we need someone whom we thought of denying his/her friend's request.
Ending this topic on positive note, I have made tons of strangers as online friends whom I didn't knew and ended up being better buddies than real world friends. So guys it's your wish add or deny, I don't care. You are not more gifted than others and your significance has just dropped more than ever! chow!
