And, for those posts that annoy, I just continue scrolling past them. I've tentatively engaged a few times and always regretted it. The amount of anger and unkindness can boggle the mind. So, no more. I try keep my posts happy and upbeat. <a href="http://www.weekendsinmaine.com" rel="nofollow">Weekends In Maine</a> <br />Weekends in Mainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03137035578512456633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-16336762474099400932018-04-21T04:19:26.194+08:002018-04-21T04:19:26.194+08:00Silence is indeed golden Leanne!

You raise valid points here and so far I've been lucky not to have too much of a problem with social media but I like to avoid conflict wherever possible and I don't even post puppy or kitten things, so I'm doing well!

I don't agree with 99% of my friends but I'm not about to engage in conversation because I believe differently. Most folks really do not care to know what you think about sensitive issues. I know I was totally guilty of going overboard during the election and I'm sure that rubbed some folks the wrong way. It wasn't my intent. I don't think I'll go so far next time but I never once spoke ill to anyone or unfriend a person. I think we should be able to agree to disagree respectfully. But, you're right silence is golden. I may adhere to this practice next time...maybe, I'll think about it. lol Thanks for stopping in for a visit today and taking a looking at my 'sleeping dragons', I mean rock sketch. �� Have a restful weekend.<br /><br />~Curious as a Cathy<br /><a href="http://curiousasacathy.com/2018/04/atozchallenge-creating-ipad-art-sketches-letter-r/" rel="nofollow">A2Z iPad Art Sketch 'R' for Rocks</a><br /><br />Cathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01056276734145310231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-58373020693513070322018-04-21T01:23:40.760+08:002018-04-21T01:23:40.760+08:00Silence is still golden although that is rarely re...Silence is still golden although that is rarely remembered in the heat of the moment and social media has a lot of heated moments.

I think the discussions and explorations are important though - I'm becoming increasingly concerned about our collective inability to engage in meaningful exchange. <br /><br />That said, I love and appreciate silence and breaks from our overly noisy, often disharmonious world.Deborah Weberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05971869506007671786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-8868683682283913412018-04-21T00:33:50.398+08:002018-04-21T00:33:50.398+08:00Yes, I hate it when people clash on Social Media. ...Yes, I hate it when people clash on Social Media.

My family has always been good at arguing -- we have a wide variety of religious and political views. We argue and defend our opinions loudly -- but we are always careful to respect one another. I don't think the problem is the argument so much as the lack of respect.
