It's hard to be stay quiet and calm when you are trying to warn your neighbor that there's a fox in the hen house.

Great article! I will print, share and pass it on. I can't post it on my FB because I closed my account after getting slammed by my DIL's sister. Exactly the sort of incivility you are talking about. Apparently, my DIL had been venting about me to her sister and instead of being discreet, she posted something nasty on my "wall", thus revealing to me how my DIL thought of me. Neither of them seemed to realize how shattering that would be to me, or how it impacts our relationship... as if FB isn't real and you can say whatever you want. If she had said something that nasty to my face, they might have considered and apology or some sort of relationship repair. Social media must feel anonymous to young people?
