There is no excuse
To rub my face
In the dirt
Just because you can
The ability to type
Does not
Give you the right
To be cruel
Next time
You decide
To express an opinion
A feeling
Take a breath
Pause
Just.Be.Nice.
Or better yet
Write nothing at all

There was a kid missing near the area where I live. Our local news stations posted about it on social media. I asked for more information, hoping to help. Then somebody posted a snotty comment directed at me, essentially informing me that I needed to read the article more closely. So I did and it was still as unhelpful as the first time I read it. If you are typing just to type, and it does more harm than good, please DON’T post it. Easy peasie.
