Are You Sure You Want to Share That with the World?.
Am I the only one who thinks that it is possible to be too open with blog and social media posts?
No, you are not. I was on Facebook for 2 weeks and got off. I grew so tired of all the posts about waiting for a movie to start, or having diarrhea, or I’m at the grocery in line!!!! the mundane stuff just…I don’t know, irked me. And then the people who went on rants about everything. Right now, our Supreme Court is discussing this. As an example, posts from a man threatening to kill his wife “fold up that restraining order, put in your pocket, and see if it will stop a bullet.” and much much worse, including elementary school schootings. Just horrible stuff. Cyber bullying, saying things online you’d never say to the person face to face because of being a cowardly bully. I don’t know, it just seems people don’t have manners or kindness anymore. I know that is an exaggeration, but it just seems so prevalent. I had to block my blog from someone who persisted in making crude, ugly comments. I deleted them from showing up, but…I reported them and I am not sure what happened, but it stopped. But I have put a block on them all the same and codified words and phrases that would be blocked.

Thank you for sharing this, Kanzen. It is exactly what I’m talking about. We don’t want to know about these things. Well said.

Hi Audrey. I know. I have been quiet, haven’t I.
I’m glad you agree. All this personal stuff should be kept where it belongs. Keep it in a blog, by all means. But make the entries private so we don’t have to share them.
Thanks for the comment.

I’m glad someone notices, Audrey 🙂 And I hope you are well and enjoying the summer recess.
I’m fine. I’ve been busy with family matters leaving little time to think, let alone write. I could share what I’ve been up to, but in view of what I wrote in this article, it would be hypocritical 🙂

I am trying to relax. Up late these days trying to fit everything in. It gets harder and harder.
I understand, Michael. 🙂 Yes, indeed.
Have a good day, my friend. I’m off to bed.
