The other day in Skypeland, a young girl from Serbia announced her presence by declaring "Your country is shit, you are shit, I hate you all and you all should be killed".
Of course, people reacted somewhat negatively to this, and she was shocked that she had such an unpleasant reception. She was asked over and over where she was from, and she refused to say what country she was from for several minutes. Finally she admitted she was from Serbia. She was very hurt that her initial entry into the room had lead to counterattacks by those in the room. She was upset when people made comparisons between Serbia and other countries. She became defensive when people questioned Serbia's behavior in wars against its neighbors just a few years ago.
The thing that becomes obvious in Skypeland, over and over, is that those who cannot take it, should not dish it out. And people who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
