| War-Mongering People? A friend recently told me and shared an experience with his old friend. When I say old friend, I mean former friend. Their relationship eventually gone sour because of some few misunderstandings and what is laughable is that all of the dispute happened over an exchange in Facebook. This is exactly why I limit my social networking because people can be harsh with their words online. The anoniminity and the distance offered by social networking sites doesn't assure anyone that people won't get hurt. When things are already over or resolved we should just let it be, rather than getting into another trouble by posting some provocative statements. If you'll know that people might misinterpret you, then you should have second thoughts in posting that next status update, or that is what you really want and that you can't pass the day without having someone to irritate or having an argument with people in our network? We should all remember that there is a fine line that separates being honest and being irritating and provocative. |
| "Social Networks and People In It "
I also have a former friend of the same attitude. She would post irritating rants and would claim to be speaking in general. And eventually, I learned to just let it all pass and just take it less seriously as she is nothing to do with us anymore. And well, we cannot just prevent people for ever releasing every thoughts that they have in their minds. Like what this person that I know would say, my page, my wall..my rules! So just do not mind people ranting over social networking sites. And besides, you would not be affected with any rants if you are not guilty of anything. Sometimes, truth really hurts. |
| "Impulse"
Facebook, together with other social networks like Twitter are perfect venues to voice out one's thoughts, perspectives and opinions on various matters. It would only take a second to even a minute to say or post something but the repercussion of that action could very well destroy one's credibility or ruin a relation in the long run. So if you don't have anything good to say then don't say it at all or somehow keep it in a range where it is tolerable. |
| "Think Twice Before Posting Anything "
These social networking sites really are not that good in some terms. At some point there are instances that we do express whatever it is in our minds, not knowing that some of the people in our networks might get really affected. And it is hard for some to control themselves posting so much on their respective social networking accounts. Let us be responsible to what we do post to our online pages and accounts. |
