Now, define Hate. Donā€™t think that will turn out well, but it should be good for the lawyers.

I think in the broadest sense, telling someone that you need to be murdered, raped or maimed in some way is a clear definition of hate.

I understand that there are circumstances where things may be borderline, but right now, some people are getting away with threatening peoplesā€™ lives. Even if theyā€™re only ā€œjokingā€, the person receiving these messages have no way of knowing that.

And, besides, why on earth do people need to be so extreme? If you donā€™t like someone or something they say, STOP FOLLOWING THEM or reading their tweets, thereā€™s absolutely no need to threaten someone just because you donā€™t have the same beliefs.

The question answers itself, ā€œPeopleā€. You and I know what you said to be true, but Iā€™ve met people who have as their core belief that you arenā€™t allowed to believe anything different. Itā€™s common to an amazing degree. So the challenge is that defining hate beyond the very basic is hopeless and this is what Twitter will by trying to do. I would wish them luck, but there wonā€™t be any.

ā€œThink before you speakā€ is too hard apparently. Itā€™s so easy to get caught up in knee-jerk reactions these days when somebody gets under your skin. People should learn to clean up the swamp instead of willingly getting neck deep in it.

One last bit of ranting, Thinking before Speaking is fundamental. The problem is that technology - like Twitter - makes Speaking out to large groups of people easier. It seems to me to have made it so easy that Thinking has become hard in comparison.

I always try to sign my posts because it makes me ā€œThinkā€ before I click the button.
