Quote from a blog about facebook:
"What is not healthy on the websites are the false accusations, the
gossip, the libelous actions, and the innuendos that permeate some of
the sites. Those in middle school seem to be the worst at this. In
righteous indignation they name those who are accused of crimes, or are
taken in for questioning. They do not understand or respect the legal
system in which we are presumed innocent until proven guilty. In small
communities everyone knows the names of those involved and rumours
spread regarding what is happening. The conversations can turn
vitriolic and they recommend violent answers to the murder and demand
violent retribution for those who have unfairly passed away. "
