true. yet, for all the concern re libel and slander, none has yet to appear on the site. in fact, people just write about how great the other person is. i guess what they say is true: you get more flies with anonymous honey than with anonymous vinegar.
It seems we've degenerated further than even cubeduel, where there was some criterion for slandering someone. Here, it's just a general opportunity to rip into that guy you've always been after...
"i built chattel.me as a reaction to high school, consensus, the level of online activity as a measure of worth" Yeah, in high school, the folks whispering about you needed a perhaps minuscule amount of guts and connections to spread their rumors. Here, even that's gone... (you know that here, who votes you up or down is already anonymous ...)
