PEOPLE WHO REPOST WARNINGS ESPECIALLY IN CAPS!!!

By ths I mean those who forward on every 'warning/danger Will Robinson" message they recieve on Facebook/Twitter etc without ever checking the validity of the warning.
Honestly, do people fall for these things?
I mean, why would you accept "Fred Kruger aka Slasher" as a friend anyway??? Are you that hard up for friends that you don't check who they are?

Here's a few pages that address this situation (and PLEASE I suggest you read them before posting to me "well it might be true" or be prepared to be showered in mockery).

Internet Rumors – How to Debunk Internet Rumors

Why You Should Never Share False Rumors

and let me quote the best reason for NOT reposting the garbage "Every false rumour circulated devalues the extent to which social networking and the Internet acts as an effective method of spreading true information."

We have a useful tool, yep it is fun and all that but it COULD be a valuable tool to us all, if it was used properly. Why do we always destroy what we should enjoy????

I know there are heaps of other pages that explain why NOT to repost the nonsense, bottom line is... if it is real, the REAL people who need to warn you already have.
