FB's dark mood

Passive Aggressiveness has been on the rise on Facebook ever since the election. It's done by a few people pretty regularly, and by the same people who were probably non-confrontational when younger. FB allows people to write whatever they like- but without having to deal with any confrontation or responsibility of their words. Some, like myself, totally invite and enjoy it when someone has something to say about a post I make, or a comment they may disagree with. I always liked open debate and people who are honest about their feelings. I have very diverse friends who sometimes completely disagree with me, and they say so, and that's a good thing!

However, it does allow many to be ugly, then never address the reprecussions of their words, and of course, you can insult someone and never have to see the look on their face in real life.
It allows a few, who would never say some things to someone's face, to spit and run (so to speak).
It's ugly out there at times, folks....say what you mean, mean what you say, and be a nice open book to your loved ones. That way, everyone knows where they stand and there are no suspicions, paranoia or questions about your words' meanings or where they are directed.
Words are a very strong weapon.
