I can't say that I don't know the cruelty of common gossips. People have gossipped about me, and I didn't discover the damage they've done until later. I think I chose to ignore their malice, and therefore couldn't understand gossip used as criminal evidence.
The blogs about Casey Anthony have upset me with their cruel gossip. I don't argue with gossips' belief that Casey is guilty, but I disagree that their suspicions prove her guilt beyond my doubt. They ask "What else could it be?" And they attack my honesty, morality, and mental stability and capacity when I tell them what else it could be. I don't expect them to like me for my contrary opinion, but I find it strange that they deny their own antagonism. Why should I want their friendship?
I've always considered myself a common man, and it bothers me how easily common people can become a mob. I worry that I may join the thrill of ganging up on someone because that person is socially vulnerable. I fear having to express myself on some crucial matter when everyone is intent on hearing something contrary. I want not to do onto others as the mob would do unto me.

It seems that the mob of bullying also latches on to trends. You are not the first person I've seen them use the word hybristophilia on.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate that you stand up to the bullying. I wish more people thought like you.
