No bashing on the internet

When someone makes a rather egregious mistake

You have an urge to share the incident as an anecdote, you take

The personal details out of the description but state

The incident as it took place in a social media post, then wait

For comments- that usually support you in making fun

Of the person who was wrong in that situation

*

You think you are just telling a tale with details anonymized

But there are many people in your orbit who would realize

The name of the person you are referring to

Including that unfortunate person too

*

Imagine discovering you are being ridiculed online, once again

For a mistake you have already been called out for, wouldn’t it cause pain?

Anonymity does not really exist on the internet

Enough evidence to identify a person one can get

*

Simply put, what I am trying to say here

Is that one should refrain from posting in the social media sphere

Anything that condemns or ridicules another person

Unknowingly you can tarnish someone’s reputation..
