Background of Those who Slander Others on the Web

I often use the bulletin boards on the Internet. The other day I noticed someone had slandered my favorite writer. Since having read all of his books, I believe I understand his thoughts. The slanderer made his criticism by picking up only a part of what the author wrote, but it was obvious if you read all he wrote that the slander was entirely off the point.

To my surprise, someone else had posted very emotional and inflammatory opinion agreeing with the slender. As I took an interest in those who slander the writer without knowing much about the novelist, I checked up their past records of postings on the web. Then, I found out a tendency that one person always writes in the specific field and speaks highly of a specific novelist, and then slanders the others.

I could guess that one person was one of the novelist’s groupies or related people. I also found out that the other was a maniac web contributor who had written nearly 200 posts. This person is the kind who doesn’t understand the essence of the books, and enjoys finding faults and wants to show off his existence. His thoughtlessness was obvious from his past records. The writing records of these two people overlap each other, so I could see a possibility that they are related behind the scenes.

As long as these people are participating on bulletin boards, it becomes very difficult to trust anything that is written. The one who is slandered may not know it, but the slander’s actions may be a criminal offence. I am now searching those who criticize others without understanding the essence of the issues concerned. In the near future, I want to see their reaction when they stand in the position to be criticized, after I disclose their human nature and the occupation of those who write silly criticisms.
