Social Media Challenge:
• Ask yourself if someone really needs to know that you disagree.
• Try to understand the perspective someone is conveying before replying to them.
• Ignore the impulse to merely reply to a keyword that stands out to you rather than the actual subject of the post.
• Remember that a reply is to a person, not a root-level post on a message board.

I promise you, if you give it a moment’s thought, you will realize it’s not much harder to converse more meaningfully online.
