Mark Gatiss Quotes

Some kid gets his first iPhone, signs up to Twitter, and then tweets, 'Nikki Sixx sucks.' And I'm supposed to take that personally.

Social media has come a long way. With the good has come some bad, and you always have a lot of people hiding behind their computers and being very critical of what you do on and off the field, of what you tweet, of what you say, of everything you do.

The worst is when you read things on the Internet blogs, because people don't hold back. Sometimes you read wonderful things, but sometimes it's really awful stuff. Like on the Fashion Spot, for example, people always comment on you. They forget that we might read that stuff.

The Internet is a big place where a lot of people can voice their opinions, and my mother chooses to pick fights with random people from all over the world who don't have the nicest things to say about me.

Blogs are evil. Actually, the blogs aren't as evil as blog comments.

I read our emails every day and I know there are people out there who think I'm awful.

I think it's very dangerous for people who do anything that's public to venture on the Web and check out what people are saying about them. Yes, you're bound to find things that will delight you - but you also find things that will make you brood and feel bad about yourself. Why would you intentionally invite that into your life?

I know it's dangerous to take on bloggers. They can go after you every day, all day long, and anonymous people can chime in, too.

I don't read the comments people write about me - it's not worth it.

People are so funny. There's no winning with commenters or anonymous people. They'd be rude that I was overweight, and now they're rude that I'm healthy.

I do not have a Facebook page, and I do not chat on Twitter. I don't have a web site, even if there are people who have opened one in my name, complete with my photo.

It doesn't matter what people want to say on message boards, know what I mean? I don't pay attention to that stuff.

It really bugs me that Twitter gets such a bad rep.

I can understand criticism coming from people who have met me, but it is off-putting to hear nasty things about myself from people I have never met or even seen in life.

At the end of the day, I know I'm a good person, so I'm not worried about anything bad that could happen on the Internet.

Overall, Twitter has been a great tool for myself and my family as far as promoting our charity and the events we do and really just kind of interacting with our fans. But it can be in the negative form, and guys have to be careful.

The thing about social media is that someone's going to hate what you do no matter what you do.

I get Google alerts that automatically let me know when someone's calling me a nutjob.

People feel they can say nasty things and have anonymity behind the net - as they did with all the nasty comments about me - without fear of recrimination.

I have to wonder if some part of the difficulty in dealing with the repercussions of your actions on the Internet is just that we were not ever really built for being able to conceive of a global community of anything.

Classroom teachers can play an active role in instructing children about appropriate conduct online, even where there is no school policy on the issue. By promoting public discussion about their lives on the Internet, teachers and students can work together to share advice and develop 'rules to type by' or similar Internet-minded guidance.

There's a lot of hating on social media - and I'm not the only one, I'm 100 percent sure. Pick the best player possible - all-time or one who's playing today - everybody has something to say.
