This article was excellent! I feel sorry that the author had to go through all that. It's made me realize and regret some of the times I personally have negatively snap-judged a person on the Interwebz based on just one context-devoid picture with too many upvotes.

Tribalism is a heck of a drug. Easy to get involved in, satisfies our primal instincts, and is frequently horribly destructive. I hope one day I can have enough discipline to not criticize every stranger on Twitter.

I find it best to try never to say anything negative online, and certainly not attack anyone. I have my own opinions, and I can share them with those close to me. There’s nothing to be gained from saying anything negative in public, no matter how you feel.
