Social media just brings out the worst in everybody, IMO. Once people found refuge in the anonymity of internet aliases and cartoon avatars, but now it's almost a badge of honor to display your own name and act like a yahoo, spout forth ignorant comments, vomit up bile, and swear up a storm like some kind of drunk truck driver. Oops. Did I just resort to name calling?
ReplyDeleteThe thing I find so remarkable in all this, John, is that more often than not people identify their place of work on their page. Just last week I read a comment from a Calgary employee of the Royal Bank who wanted all Syrian refugees deported, referring to them as "sand niggers". I considered forward the comment to the branch. Wish I had.
