We all grew up being taught
Basic etiquette in school
To treat others with kindness
Was supposedly a fundamental rule
Most of us more or less stick to those norms
When with other people we’re face to face
But when involved in online discussions
We fail to extend to others such grace..
*
When people turn to social media forums for advice
With mockery and scathing criticism they are met
Behind a veil of anonymity people feel emboldened
To tear down others on the internet..
*
It is time we all learnt a new set
Of rules of engagement for the internet
Think before we type vicious comments
Practice in the online world real-life etiquette
Passion...unbridled 
Have you ever gone onto reddit? I stumbled onto that site by accident. Big mistake. The comments on that site are vicious. Whew! I see something about reddit and know that is where all the haters are.

I have not checked it out but even on instagram I see vicious comments that don’t even make sense..

WP is the only social media platform that I do. Just reading about all the drama on Insta, X, FB exasperates me. Retiring was good because I got away from all the office drama. No need to pick it back up again by going online. For me, WP is all I need. I think we are all nice people over here.

Agree, WP has nice people. If you don’t like something, just move on! No need to tear someone down..
