I don't have any social media outside of LinkedIn. Nothing else. I don't watch or follow any news outlets. The last person who is influenced by social media is muwah. Having said all of that I fail to see your point. What I did see (read) was a random, uncalled for attack on one of our posters.
At the end of the day - we are all different. We're all shaped from our various backgrounds, beliefs, values, etc. Are there people here (and in real life) that make me wince? Absolutely. I'm sure I have that affect on others as well. I talk about this stuff for a living. And one thing I always stress is the fact that once we speak or act out of line, we're now part of the problem. And I think if you have a beef with someone there's a better way to address it than a verbal attack. I'm sure not everyone buys into my thought process but I'd argue that one look at society today proves my point. We are collectively a society that has turned it's back on respecting others.
