Where to begin?
Social media and easy access to the Internet have given rise to a very special population: the keyboard warriors. They wax eloquent on any topic under the sun even though it's obvious they have no training or experience in the topic at hand, and yet they profess to be experts despite not knowing what they're talking about. Usually because they've seen something similar on a TV show.
I think all graduate schools and professional training programs should consider going out of business since TV shows are now the training ground for the next generation of professionals.
I really don't know why I bother to read these "expert" opinions, since they infuriate and sadden me in equal measures. All I can say is, I'm glad I haven't seen a name of any of my friends attached to these uninformed opinions masquerading as facts!
So, reader, I am asking for your stories. Have you come across comments and opinion pieces that make you fear for the future of humankind? Have you ever replied to a comment and find yourself drawn into an unwinnable war of words? Have you contributed to a discussion that wasn't going anywhere? Or, do you like to provoke reactions and watch the world burn?
As always, please keep it civil and relevant. I promise I will refrain from commenting on your experience, but I might be curious enough to ask questions to better understand your story.
