Being anonymous is one thing for sure. Internet has given us to network with people, but we must follow the basic rule. You know, showing good manners and respect is not as difficult as one would think. Of course, you may not agree all the time, but being rude is not something you can do to give an opposing opinion. Just my two cents. It is off the topic, but I just couldn’t resist to say how easily people can hurt others on the Internet. Being anonymous is one thing for sure.

I know, harsh words, but that’s the way of the internet isn’t it? Sorry about that.’ He then continued: ‘If you can’t see it you don’t need an iphone, get a cheap appropriate alternative. And that’s my final word.’" That's rude, at least I think it is. “‘You claim to be partially sighted and buy a device with a freaking 3 inch screen for web browsing … you are either lying or a fool.

That person would never actually say that to you face to face, especially if they did believe it. Being rude is apparently allowed when communicating by text. Bah, ignorant morons. Not that I'm visually impaired, but the level of ignorance is astounding sometimes. Personally, I think that version of the i-Phone looks really nice. From a full sighted person it looks futuristic, almost like something from Star Trek! That’s the problem with anonymity on the internet.
