Danger On The Internet by Peter Paton Thursday, March 09, 2006 Rated "PG" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan

" If it looks like a pig....it is a pig " ......................................................... You have to be very careful with other people's hearts and be extremely cautious about their motives and intentions nothing is as it seems these days there is always something lurking beneath the paper thin veneer you shouldn't play with other's feelngs just to satisfy your inflated ego or be the tempter to the unwary looking to lead them astray beware of unsolicited messages not everyone thinks the same as you some are manipulators and schemers and don't have your best interests at heart the internet is a source of information but can also be a den of iniquity smooth talking devils stalk the net searching for another easy prey both sexes have their foxes and vixens and you could end up with a broken heart some have even taken their own life because they feel they let the side down so you should always be alert and vigilant just to where you should draw the line hold everything up in the light of honesty scrutinize all your communications and reject that overture and pass if it dozen't pass the test there is no such thing as innocent flirting the very statement tells you its a sham so retain your self respect and integrity by making sure and ready you always walk the line Copyright by Peter Paton 2006

Peter, no truer words were ever written. This should be sent to women's magazines all over the world, because we are a hormonal gender, and we allow our feelings, more often than not, to get in the way of reason. Forewarned is forearmed. And as women we need to be forarmed, before we allow our feelings to get us into something that we may regret later. While there are women predators too, we are more susceptible than men, because men don't allow their feelings to get in the way of caution, unless they actually fall in love. But falling in love on the internet, may work for some, it does not work for most. We need our suit of armor too, and the only way to get it is by reading things like this, but not just here in the Den tho, but in every magazine that you can think of. Thnx for sharing this with us, Peter. May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little den sister, Barbie "If I have to be this girl in me, Then I have the right to be."

so true peter. the internet has opened up a space where accessing people and information is so easy. it's sometimes hard to tell where a person is coming from when you can look them in the face. a warning well written and well placed. ~a

Great pen on a very serious subject. I belong to a group of computer hounds that help search out and report these idiots. We catch at least five a month and report them.

Some very sage advice, Peter - there are many human stalkers who search for their prey everywhere these days - especially on the Internet.




Reviewed by Jerry Bolton (Reader)	3/9/2006

Good sage advice here. Since the beginning the Internet, it has been fraught wiith scoundrals and scoundralnesses. I, for one, can never understand the mentality of someone who can't deal with the flesh and blood of their acquantances because for whatever reason, still think there in a chance in hell that a complete stranger (the stranger the better, maybe) on the Internet is there for them to love and cherish and hold forever. Yep, it HAS happened from time to time, but the pitfalls are many with this kind of realtionship. Don't know why I haven't been tracking you. I have no answer for that. Thank you for being in my corner most, if not all of the time, Peter.

Hi Peter.. Thanks for this reminder in prose. It's much easier to digest for some of us. Some do flirt to be cute and others flirt for their own ego purposes . Others are light hearted and don't realize they're flirting. You give this spin to flirting we all probably need as a reminder tht we are human and we do have purposes and responsibilities toward others. Again. Thank you! Susa

It's sad really that people take pleasure in seeking to hurt others. I don't understand it really. The Internet is a great tool and thankfully we can share our poetry. Let's keep ourselves protected though, with that I agree!




Reviewed by Karen Lynn Vidra, The Texas Tornado	3/9/2006

Peter, You are so right: the Internet CAN be a dangerous foe if people don't take the necessary steps to protect themselves; too many "no-goodniks" out there, too many bad sites. (That's why I just stick to G-rated sites and Authorsden.com; don't need none of that terrorist or porn crap for ME, no siree, bob!) Wise advice from you; you may have saved a life today. Thanks a lot! (((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in America, Karen Lynn in Texas. :(

Peter, You are so right. People can hide behind a created persona and nom de plumbe (spelling)? I have always tried to be truthful, but that can cause problems, too. Wise advice in your poetry thin early (EARLY) morning. (((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
