I don't know if I should be surprised about the popularity of the post that I published yesterday. I received an enormous amount of views in just a couple of hours and also I've been honoured with an anonymous comment by   someone on Yik Yak!  At least now I know that people actually read my stuff.  Now, it is obvious that there are people that love insulting other people with the advantage of anonymity but this is a blog post and, like many other blogs on the web, it has a section dedicated for comments. If you don't want to comment there, you can also use Facebook, send me a message or comment below the post.  I don't even understand why you're angry about it. I just expressed my opinion in the politest way possible. If you want you can contact me and tell me why you strongly disagree with me and explain why  insulting people anonymously is right for you. I'm always open to any confrontation. 

It's a long time since I wrote my last blog post but for a couple of weeks I've been thinking to write something to express my opinion about a specific subject.  Yik Yak . Everyone knows this "new" social network that allows you to post whatever you want anonymously and share it with people that live in the same area.  It could be fun talking to people, exchanging opinions with them and comments about common subjects, like for example same university or course or town.  But it's not that fun when people abuse of their anonymity to insult or make fun of other people. As I think you know, I attend the University of Buckingham and if you have a look at Yik Yak in these area you'll notice that the only people who po sts stuff on there are students. Obviously I'm not saying that every post is made to make fun of other people. There are several posts that are actually funny. Now, I think that you can say whatever
