When someone says something that really bothers you on social media, when do you speak up and when do you hold your tongue?
My facebook feed is particularly obnoxious tonight! I’ve had to hold my tongue twice over offensive posts. If I knew the people better I might have said something.
Is it sometimes better to set somebody straight versus holding your tongue for the sake of keeping the peace? How do you make the distinction?
