Don’t you love those people, who opine an opinion about everyone’s behaviour (friends, sports stars, politicians) without a shred of hard facts or strong anecdotal information? The “know it alls”.
Places like Twitter, Facebook and other platforms have provided a public platform for opinions that in earlier times merely inhabited the bar or the office water cooler.
That people in the media, sports, business or arts profess “shock” about unsolicited and unfair feedback expressed on social media (I am not talking about death threats) says more about their “compound cluelessness” than the actual comments. Their inability to differentiate between valid and invalid sources, to highlight valid comments (even if they take a contrary view) and offer a reasoned response or ignore it entirely.
