Watch What You Say...

I've often said that the surge of social media will be the downfall of so many people. In today's FaceBook, Twitter, and now Google+ driven society, people share more and more in the public forum about what they think of others. Which I don't necessarily have a problem with. Free speech, and all that constitutional jazz.

My issue is that more often than not the venom that is put out there tends to do the snake that is pitching the hissy fit more harm to themselves than others. There's an art to putting someone on blast without flushing yourself down the toilet too. If you are going to diss someone publicly (yes I said diss so that you would understand it) , at least have the intelligence not to bite the hand that feeds you. Which is asking a lot for some of these Cro Magnon fools.

Now I know some of you are probably thinking "Wait a minute. What about the things you ranted about on FaceBook a couple of years ago after a certain event in your life?" The difference is that I was smart enough not to mention anyone by name, or even associate the posts with a person or business by tagging them. It's not my fault if people just assumed it was about someone. And if that person or business felt it WAS about them, then they probably had a good reason to. Guilt is mostly felt by the guilty.

So here's the dealio. I do my job. I have documents to support the decisions I make. You don't like them, so you decide to make a jab at me on public forum. Either you are a complete muttonhead (sound it out, look it up...if you don't know what it means it probably applies to you) and think that I wouldn't see it. Or, which is more likely the case, you did it on purpose thinking that you are "da man" and thought it would go noticed but unresponded to. Which is exactly what a muttonhead would think. Or, as some would put it, #fail.

Now, if anyone needs me, I'll be educating myself on today's happenings via the interwebs.
