Spread <3, Not Hate

KM Parr and KC Neal are hosting a day of Spread <3, Not Hate. Unfortunately KM was the victim of cyber-bullying when she released her first novel. I don't know all the details of her story, though she will be blogging about it today here. But you know what?

It doesn't matter.

There isn't ever a time when bullying is okay, whether in person or in cyber space. There is someone on the opposite end of your keyboard who is a real person, with real feelings. So after you go to KM's blog to read her story, my challenge to you is to search inside yourself, honestly examine your actions both past and present, and determine if you are a bully. If so, do something about it now, today. An apology and/or a commitment to no longer bully is a really good place to start.

Have a happy, bully-free weekend!

  2. You must have been, Sherry! I honestly thought that was why you wrote that post today. For those of you who haven't read Sherry's post, you definitely should. Here's the link: http://wordpaintingsunlimited.blogspot.com/
