Since we all type a lot of words every day, I bet that all of you met someone with false *"keyboard courage"* at least few time in your lives. It's not Steemit that I talk about. **I see Steemit as the friendly light in the tunnel and I hope that light is not a train.** 
#### On all social networks you can find a lot of people with false characteristics and qualities. It is funny what they are able to say when they feel protected by the internet!
They use written words to say things for which they don't have courage to say in person. People have much more courage to confront others by writing messages than to say out loud what do they think! But there are also some very shy people who become friendly thanks to "keyboard courage".

### Now I will tell you few examples when someone with that "keyboard courage" tried to confront me.
#### It was 7-8 years ago when my band released a single and the feedback was more than we ever expected. 
But one of my acquaintances and former Facebook friend started to post very bad things on Facebook about us and our songs. The most people didn't care what he was writing but he also made some idiotic followers. I sent him a private message to ask him what is all about. He turned CAPS LOCK and started "yelling" on me! He asked me do we think that we are famous now and why we sold ourselves (the single was recorded in home conditions in our own production), the guy acted as we earned some money because of a song! I couldn't read that anymore, so I broke that Facebook friendship. But he remained to send me messages whole night and I had to block him.
#### Few days later I was walking through shopping center with my friend. 
And there I saw this guy in the company of some other people that I knew. I decided to say hello. All in that group stopped to share few words with me but this guy said "hello" very quietly and looked at the floor whole the time. It was so unpleasant and embarrassing situation for him. He couldn't look at my eyes, maybe he expected that I will say something, so I asked him with a smile on my face:
*"What's up? Have you cooled down?"*
*"Oh"*, he said, still looking at the floor, *"That's nothing!"*.
I have never heard a word from that guy after that. 
During the years, there were many keyboard attacks on me, but all that was false and people who did that, didn't stand behind their words. And it was all closely connected with jealousy, every time. 
#### Once, a guy who has a crush on my girlfriend started to send me threatening messages, but from an anonymous phone number. 
I think that he even bought a new sim card only for this purpose. Then he started to send anonymous messages to my girlfriend and she found out who is he. His friend told her friend what he was doing and I found a real phone number of that guy and called him immediately. He was denying all that he has done but while I was talking to him, I gave a sign to my friend to call that anonymous phone number and I heard the ring on the other side of the line! Yes! Guy had two phones, one for real and one for his anonymous actions. So, when he realized what I did, he remained silent for 20 seconds than hung off his phone and turned it off. Since that day, this guy avoids me and I have never seen him again.

#### I will not write more about my  experiences with false keyboard terrorists with false attitude, but also on Steemit you can see some personal or professional attacks and some people seem much more brave than others... is it "keyboard courage" or the real thing, time will say! Thank you!
