Social Media Comments...Personal Attacks?

I am active on Twitter and Facebook.  Some subjects get my adrenaline flowing and I'll reply with gusto, but I attack the idea, not the person making the comments I disagree with.  We all have opinions, some valid, some not so much.  But it's just an "opinion" created by our personal belief system....not necessarily right or wrong.

Not everyone thinks this way however.  Take the #Occupy Movement...the hard core, really believe they are doing good for the so called 99%.  I, on the other hand, think the movement is socialism in action and a bunch of silly horse crap!  But while I disagree with the #Occupy Blogger's & Tweeters, I don't threaten them personally or call them vile names.

So folks be kind in your disagreements with others opinions....remember, don't shoot the messenger!

I agree with your thoughts on attacking the opinions, not the person. Thank you!
