Like real life, there are some places on the web were shit just aint friendly and you gotta roll the windows up and slouch down behind the wheel as you pass by.
This isn't a new thing, and it's not going to go away because it hurts feelings, you know?
I think it's because a of a recent influx of people trying to say "this is my personal blog/diary/journal" to get away with "PSA: I THINK THIS PERSON IS BAD AND EVERYONE SHOULD HATE AND AVOID THAT PERSON TOO!" posts. ...it's not a personal piece of writing when it's literally being used to promote negative behavior. ...We're all adults (or close enough in the border cases) to know how to be respectable people. I don't see the need to publicly post something that will be forever indexed and searchable (by let's just say Google for speed) forever.
The internet archives everything. One of the things the university I attended preached was that social media was effectively a digital tattoo. Let's be respectful and work on solving issues, everyone (that reads this). I'd like to think we're above having to "vagueblog" or "call someone out without saying their name, but they'll totally know it's for them".
Moving on to stay positive is a good step. But it also requires acknowledging whatever negative things might have happened and the intentions behind them. Good intentions and lead to bad actions. Bad intentions can look like good actions, in just the right light.
Like the first rule of the RPC, let's be excellent to each other here and elsewhere.
