If you're anything like me, the internet has become...as to quote a friend of mine "your home within home"...so to speak. But if you show at least one of the warning signs listed below then you, my friend, need to get out more! I found this check list on a message board that I like to check out from time to time...its blunt and to the point...maybe, a little too blunt perhaps? -_-

******
WHEN YOU BEGIN TO I.M. DEATH THREATS TO OTHER USERS.

IF YOU BEGIN TO HOLD OFFICE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT A MESSAGE BOARD ALTERCATION YOU GOT INTO.

IF YOU BEGIN TO CONSIDER MESSAGE BOARD USERS AS YOUR 'REAL FRIENDS'.

IF YOU BECOME AFRAID TO COME TO THE MESSAGE BOARD B/C OTHER USERS HAVE YOU SHOOK.

IF YOU BECOME A MESSAGE BOARD STALKER...I.E. (RESPONDING NEGATIVELY TO EACH TOPIC A PARTICULAR USER POSTS).

WHEN YOU CAN'T SLEEP AT NIGHT B/C A COMMENT A USER MADE ON THE BOARD.

PLEASE IF ANY OF THESE PERTAIN TO YOU, GET SOME HELP. MAYBE JUST TAKE A BREAK, GET YOURSELF TOGETHER AND COME BACK WHEN YOU CAN HANDLE THE MESSAGE BOARD LIKE A DECENT USER.
