I participate at a unique site that's a cross between FB, a discussion forum, and (more or less) a writer's workshop. Participants there use it for all kinds of purposes: venting about politics (99.5% of them are Regressives), or about some personal heartbleed (love-life issues or family feuds); reminiscing; punning; raising interesting philosophical questions (that's usually the non-Regressive minority); telling about the latest in family gatherings/doings, etc.
As a result, the posts come out quite dadaistically, which is important to remember when post Y following post X seems to be maybe "attacking" X. (Not that at times, there aren't indeed posts constituting intramural guerrilla warfare---100% of the time between the "Blues" and the few "Reds.") Because if one forgets the dadaistic nature of the site and the fact that each poster is "coming from" somewhere in their personal life and their personal struggles, griefs and disappointments, one is likely to fallaciously read all manner of personal content into the words. Paranoia PLUS.
Which leads to puerile vindictiveness.
