But who decides whos morality is correct?

My sister said this, thoughts... (I agree with her on rude and disrespectful comments and vile nasty comments, but the rest?)

I really and truly hate the way that people post rude and disrespectful comments. I also hate with a vengeance that people make comments , and they often do, that add no value other than to see their views in print. I hate that people think that being able to type is sufficient enough justification for an uninformed opinion to be posted. I hate that people think that having an opinion automatically makes it worth hearing. I hate all the vile nasty comments that people make online...

    i think while i agree with the sentiment

    the fact she has so much hatred inside over meaningless words online is something to be concerned over

    99% of people realise when they post on a public forum you will get the ignorant, the trolls and the haters

    she needs to regulate her net time if it provokes this much hatred within her

    6 times, the word hate in one small paragraph

    that isnt healthy at all

    She is likely just venting frustration after a painful online conflict with someone who has said hurtful things or violated her values. If someone has been unkind, such as by making personal attacks or promoting injustices, she is right to be offended. Bullying is as wrong online as it is in person. Depending on the exact situation, she might be taking things too far when she says that some opinions should not be heard. Discussing our opinions online allows us to debate them openly, which can be a useful tool for helping undecided individuals come to a conclusion. That is one reason I haven't deleted all of the racists and homophobes from my Facebook friend list. I feel that demolishing their arguments one point at a time is more useful than avoiding them. However, if they resort to name-calling or behave cruelly to other friends, it becomes my responsibility to remove them from the argument. There are certain unspoken rules to successful online combat. Personal attacks cross the line.

    To state whether an opinion is worth hearing or not is, in fact, her own opinion and makes the entire thing very ironic. Ha ha ha ha.

    Who decides whose morality is correct? Outside the judiciary morality is decided by the individual.
