Going Off Means Going Public

When I read the article in the paper this morning by Richmond Times Dispatch writer Michael Paul Williams titled "Your Tirade Now Has Global Consequences" it reminded me that the subject of the article was made into this video on YouTube.

"What would have been an angry exchange has been elevated to a national event."

These are the times, anything we do publicly can become subject to "upload". When my husband heard Mrs. Tistadt's rant he pronounced, "that sounds like you" (or something you would do). He's right. My threshold for defending myself or family against perceived attackers is low. I just don't put anything in writing or leave messages on an answering machine.
