    If you are an agent, I highly recommend CIC. I found it to be the most beneficial for insurance knowledge you can actually use in your job. CRM is also a good one if you work on large or risk-managed accounts. Good luck!

    If, on the internet, you libel someone in North Korea, does their jurisdiction apply? Do you have to go to North Korea to face charges? Brutal!

    It is vital that the institution of anonymous free speech be defended as an essential facet of the checks and balances in the public to convey malignant works performed in the gloom for all to see. Free speech could also be used for evil internet smear campaigns. The cost of free speech can be great, particularly in cyberspace due to the absence of editorial supervision. An expression that hurts a person who is spotless must on no account be accepted, the expense is too high.

    Notwithstanding, there are many narcissistic imbeciles who make use of this freedom with malicious intent. Like a cat to a mouse, they enjoy tormenting or hurting others; they’re in reality fueled by the suffering of others; a tortured soul’s desperate attempts to escape is their sick prize, their “narcissistic supply”. Healthy citizens like 97% of those reading this article can’t begin to imagine what makes these individuals tick.

    This wretched social drawback has taken on wildfire proportions within the preceding 10 years due to unchecked anonymous online e-slander. In internet libel law suits in which courts have issued orders directing that anonymous and anti-social forum posters can be exposed by subpoena, such directives are ofttimes followed by protests by a trivial but rumbustious family of zealous activists that would have the rest of us believe that freedom of expression deserves to be absolute & a talker or author can not be stood responsible for his/her utterances, irrespective to the truth or falsity of the utterances. Some assume that if these same protesting citizens were to witness the devastating effects that a cowardly anonymous blogger can have on the vocational, emotional, physical, and social wellness of targets or their family; they might think twice before being as vocal in their opposition.

    An underlying weakness of publishing anonymously is that it has less credibility when critically assessed by shrewd and open-minded observers. However, there is an interesting dynamic with the problem of nasty and anonymous internet authors. While vitriol may be seen as not credible, if the target is to be considered for employment, contract awards, Boy Scout leadership or courtship, then the individual conducting the due diligence will probably look at the likely PR exposure from engaging the poor dupe. While the potential employer can probably see past the vitriol, the decision maker needs to consider what their customers and partners will imagine if they are not as clever & objective.
