I get your frustration.Social media presents the opportunity to become emotionally mature. Over time. Right now, at the beginning of this phenom, folks get to fling monkey dung. There is a promise of positive development over the long haul but not everybody wants to use their dung as growth fertilizer.All it takes is one person with a burr under their saddle to work a social media group into a lather over (pick an issue) and you don’t stand a chance in Hades of recovery.

It takes social pain to drive change (yet the civil war is still not over for a lot of ignoranuses).I got the essence of the social media situation as soon as it was released.
