Mea Culpa. I  didn’t know it, but I am guilty. I regularly violate the rules of netiquette. I don’t belong to any online groups, but I do keep in touch with family and friends on Facebook. I will call out anyone who is being disrespectful. According to Question #2 of the Netiquette challenge, I should not respond to someone who is being a jerk. In a more public situation, such as twitter, I regularly ignore flamers, but on my Facebook page, I can’t ignore attacks against a family member or close friend. The blood of my hillbilly forefathers runs deep in my veins. We have been known to kill people over a stolen pig but we wouldn’t defend our kinfolk? Ha! I didn’t realize it was a violation of the rules of the internet to defend ones family and friends. It’s a sucky rule and I expect to be a repeat offender. Apologies in advance to the net.
