    Politeness..or at least watching your mouth online..

    The Beatee shot her mouth off online. I don't excuse what happened to her, but I've seen plenty of instances where people flame the crap out of others, thinking they're "invisible"

    No, you're not. Now, in this case the attakers knew the victim, but it really isn't hard to track down anyone who talks shit over the Internet.

    A lesson that might sink in to some of those who write checks with their mouths that their asses can't cash?

    Maybe?
