Social media should I stay off it?

Joe

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?

  • ahh this also reminds me of when i saw someone share a post...

    it was a post from someone who was raging about a aerosol air freshner.... they sprayed it on their radiator and it set fire to their house, and they was raging claimig the product is unsafe and trying to sue the company and get everyone to hate them... so many people without thinking sharing it and siding with her as if she is right on the matter.... then i come along and laugh at her call them all idiots and point out its a aerosol and aerosols are flammable and she sprayed it on a radiator which is a heat source and asked her what was she expecting from that, then pointed out it also says warnings on the tin saying its flammable and dont spray it on heat sources lmao the person on my friends list that shared it unshared it immediately and felt like a idiot probably more so given she was from my school and everyone at my school thought me to be dumb and immature and lesser in every way to them lol the origonal poster also removed it i think after i called them out on how stupid they are lol

    the fact of the matter is, people are so stupid now it makes them a danger to themselves and everyone around them.... you have to point these things out so everyone can learn and then not be stupid... if i didnt point that out everyone would think she was right and maybe more people would be setting their houses on fire and not thinking on these simple common sense things. by calling her out on this one i increased fire safety around the nation and hopefully people wont be spraying aerosols on heat sources anymore lol

    one thing i was dumb on myself that people could do with knowing is i put a extension into a extension into a socket. after hearing pzzzzts a few times i googled it and realised your not supposed to daisy chain extenstions... 1 extension in socket only, no extension into another extension even if one of them is a surge charger. could have electrocuted myself there by my own ignorance on that matter....see hurtful truth is a learning experience even if it may offend or make someone out to be stupid. we are all stupid on things. we need to learn and know better for our future safety.

    There are places to do what you speak of....but the NAS community forum isn't that place, in my opinion.

    The NAS Community forum is hopefully to remain a place where diverse minds can post about their diverse minds and experiences....not the "issues" that now seem to pervade - war - rights - money etc.
