Since when was it ok to speak to people like shit

I managed to get in a disagreement on Facebook this morning mainly because I scrolled before I’d had my coffee.

I was on the Les Mills on demand page and someone was talking about atrocities in the world and I just put a comment about it being a fitness page and probably not the correct forum for this conversation. In hind sight I was wrong and should have just scrolled past and gone and drank my coffee. Which I admitted on the post because who am I to say what can and cannot be spoken about.

Just one woman was so rude and personal to me and it got me thinking when did it become perfectly ok to just slag someone off you don’t know at all who hasn’t actually said anything offensive towards you and just expressed their opinion.  Can I point out my post was polite and basically a throw away comment.

Would this woman say that to my face or is it just because she’s sat behind a screen.

I’m a big girl and can deal with people like that and I will definitely be scrolling past and not having an opinion on anything other than exercise on that page in future.

I’ve seen it a lot recently where people are just being out and out rude with their opinions on Facebook.

If you take offense are you being a snowflake, surely it shouldn’t be acceptable to behave like a complete nob. Doesn’t matter if your opinion is right or not.

I would tell me kids off if they spoke to anyone in that manner.

I guess my point is should I just harden up and accept that’s how people are now or should I continue wanting a world with manners and decency.
