One of our regular readers has sent us
their thoughts on some recent pages that have appeared on social network sites that
feature individuals from Nairn. The Gurn has seen one or two of these and some
of the material out there ranges from moderately or extremely funny, entertaining, good craic etc to
beyond the pale and into the realms of the vile.
Every one has different ideas and levels of
tolerance when it comes to these types of pages and what might be acceptable to
some is intolerable to others. The social networks do offer a form of free speech
but with free speech comes responsibility. Our correspondent refers to the sad
case of Hannah Smith and the abuse she suffered on the Ask.f.m. and worries
that a similar fate might befall someone in Nairn. Please take care out there
on the social networks folks and have fun but don’t overdo it.
