You can tell the couth of a person by what "facts" we share on social media.
Too often, we are emotional and in our attempt to hurt others, we throw everything we can against and wall and see what sticks.
It doesn't matter if all the details are true or not, it only matters that it makes it way into the public.
Those on defense, have two choices:
1. Defend themselves.
2. Don't defend themselves.
If you do the first one, you may feel better and get out details that are wrong or different that what is reported, but the attackers thrive off that. Because the more info you put out there, the more they have to attack.
If you do the second, it could die down quicker, but misinformation is all anyone gets, and anyone who is outside the loop will believe what they read without any investigation at all, we take it at face value as being true.
I can tell you, I have been angry at situations, but I have tried (tried) to abstain from directly posting, unless it's about someone I care about, then I kind of lose my mind.
But I like the passive-aggressive approach. Write a blog entry and if they see it or not, they have to assume it's about them.
It might be, it probably isn't.
But it saddens me, because there are legitimate issues to fight against, but how do we go about doing it?
The truth is often relative, and the outrage may be just because you're not the one making the decisions.
