Ethical issues in giving comments or posting

My mom used to say, "Some people talk like farting. Just throwing what they feel and ignoring the leftover smell".

The increasing use of social media made it very easy to just post things that we like or hate, and share a piece of news (be it news or opinions, true or not), and giving comments (be it charitable or not).

I'm still learning how to giving comment on facebook. I've experience in replying people (including strangers) not in a charitable manner, and now I've also experienced how annoying it is when you can tell how other people commenting on your post 'without thinking', like farting.

The moral of the story:
Don't say what you won't say face-to-face.
Don't reply a comment in a joking manner if the 'stranger' at the opposite side does not even know you and may take your joke seriously.
And lastly, ah...avoid debate on wall page. 

For us who like to share pieces of 'news', please verify the sources before we share and make the 'news' viral.
