Our Friday blogger “complains” – perhaps mentors – that I use social media not enough. He often cajoles me to post – comment – more, especially on things that matter. My wife sometimes counters I post too often. On Facebook some friends (small f intended) may share divergent opinions. Where facts support another view, I feel compelled to emphasize accuracy (In my practice what we often call "pushback" almost remains a requirement.).
Recently, some friends with whom I share an enjoyment of the music of a particular recording artist agreed we’d focus on that in our social media interactions.
I certainly support discourse and exchange of views but perhaps the forums where we exchange certain commentary require some reconsideration.
It remains a concern when evidence exists of manipulation on some of those media.
Thoughts?
