Achtung! Blogging can be upsetting
KSL-TV offers some "eek-a-mouse" journalism with its latest Internet horror story.With the catch phrase, "post at your own peril," anchorette Deanie Wimmer (Yes, Nadine is going by "Deanie." And you though she had topped out on perkiness) shares a story of a blogger who was shocked to discover that a picture of one her children had been Photoshopped to add a Hitler moustache and posted on a white supremacist website. (How did she come across it?)
Another momperson who puts up a virtual scrapbook says she received dozens of insults on her blog from some nutcase out in Web World (it turned out to be a close relative). But here's the tragedy, Wimmer says, no laws are on the books to throw such Internet hooligans in the slammer.
I get the feeling we'll see some blogging sanitation laws introduced in the Utah Legislature, including putting trolls in the sex offender registry. So straighten up, Anonymous.

Throwing people in jail for what they say... hmmm. Sounds very pre-Revolutionary War-ish. Thanks, but no thanks. Unless of course, someone is shouting "Fire!" in a crowded blog.
Utah-ism:
"I may not agree with you, but I will defend your right to say it, er, while I beat you to death."
