Social media should I stay off it?

This is a daft thing i know, but earlier I made the mistake of commenting on something in a local FB group.  Someone had posted a lost driving licence they found outside Tesco, I said I didn't understand why people posted this on FB and went on to suggest they could've handed it back in to Tesco, popped it round or posted it.  All logical to me. 

I got quite an aggressive responsive accusing me of being gods gift and was I having a bad day.  I've smoothed it over, but I'm thinking maybe I need to come off social media or general forums areas where people just don't get what I might be saying.  This is not the first time something like this happens and I find it quite distressing.  Should I just disengage? What do you guys do?

  • I try to stay off it as much as I can and just go on to find out any specific info I need then get off asap. It’s just too polarised with no room for nuance or prosper debate. There are lots of angry people on there who in real life might not have the courage to be rude to your face. Just steer clear as much as possible would be my advice.
