Today as I was standing in line at Subway here at the college, three students were talking about cyberbullying.
During my lunch hour is one time I take the opportunity to visit the YT forum and catch up on what is going on.
Since the term cyberbullying is new terminology to me, I decided to do a little research and see what it means.
"Cyberbullying involves the use of information and communication technologies to support deliberate, repeated, and hostile behaviour by an individual or group, that is intended to harm others."
I remember one of the students mentioning that this type of person usually relies on remaining incognito.
Now I have another unfamiliar word to look up.
"Incognito means having one's identity concealed, as under an assumed name, especially to avoid notice or formal attentions."
Another student made the remark that sometimes a person like this will use two or even three assumed names to disguise their appearance to create the impression of being somebody or something else.
Now this is where I really started seriously paying attention to their public conversation.
One of the student's said that one of the best ways to determine if someone is using several assumed names is to research the ISP address they are using.
This young man must know his stuff; he said no matter what assumed name one uses, there ISP address does not change.
This reminded me of something that I heard many years ago about the devil masquerading himself and that his servants also masquerade themselves. In the end they will all get what they deserve.
The owners of this web site have posted some guidelines for guests on their website.
"No politics, religious discussions or topics that contain bigotry of any kind."
Yet another word to look up to make sure I know the web masters intent.
"A bigot is a person who is intolerant of or takes offence to the opinions, lifestyles or identities differing from his or her own, and bigotry is the corresponding attitude or mindset.
As their guest here on their YT website, I agree with them that these usually result in unkind words and take away from the friendly, helpful nature of this antique tractor community.
It is time for me to continue to be friendly and helpful within this antique tractor community and turn the other cheek.
I will do good to those who hate me, bless those who curse me, pray for those who mistreat me, and forgive them.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
