Coffee Weapon

I..think, that in general:

That the Internet creates a great many ’speak first, think later’ dialogs.

That the safe anonymity of the Internet generally fosters thoughtless rudeness and unwarranted self-importance.

That because no one has to look someone in the eye, to insult them, they do so more freely, and more frequently, on the Internet.

That because all dialog on the Internet, is thru emotionless text, misunderstandings will run rampant and unchecked.

That emotions on the Internet are volatile, unreliable, misrepresented or even deliberately faked.

That because connections on the Internet are essentially ephemeral, few will take the time to explain themselves or understand where others are coming from.

That what happens on the Internet, has only as much importance to our real lives, as we chose to give it. That the importance we chose to give it, may not be reciprocated or have the same importance to someone else on the Internet.

Coffee is indeed a popular weapon in N. Carolina, following the coffee road rage episodes another coffee weapon has resurfaced, poison. A woman in N. Carolina has been charged and jailed for trying to kill a man the she was caring for by poisoning his coffee.

The man she tried to poison doesn’t believe she would do such a thing to him.
“She had no reason to poison me, no reason,” he said.
“I can depend on her, as far as that goes,” he said. “Debbie’s a good person.”
