i realize that this is a public sphere (and that's why i use it).

i realize that if i post something about a specific place (and if they have enabled feeds to check when people use their name or speak about them) then they possibly will be able to read my post(s). i could view this practice as either a savvy marketing tactic or possibly a self-conscious attempt at monitoring all public relations about a particular entity. (or even just plain suspicious of everyone).

i have never thought i'd live during a period in world history where someone's personal posts would be raked and rummaged through in search of reasons for arguments and threats. is this like the mccarthy era where people dig up factual yet out-of-context information to scrutinize? this could be a problem if it came down to an employee bad mouthing an employer with defamatory language. but what if it's an individual stating opinions on a personal page? what if the person expressing their personal opinions happens to be someone who pays money to be where he/she is? what if those opinions are about events that are not helping him/her feel good about giving money to be in the environment that he/she has found him/herself in? what if this person is spending more time/money cleaning up other people's messes? what if personal property is being destroyed because of the recklessness and lack of supervision of others on the property?

how many times can issues be addressed before one reaches their wit's end?

one such example? a weekend-night spent shoveling a mud/rock/insulation/sawdust slurry up off of the filthy concrete floor above in an attempt to redirect an increasing deluge that's been running through the crack in the floor above and into the light fixture over equipment used specifically in the preparation of food. what could lead to or cause an event such as this? perhaps a giant hole in the outer wall of the suite immediately above carelessly covered (partially) with an unsecured (and too-short) tarp following a previous storm ripe with tornadoes?

so you say a blog or a facebook page isn't personal property because it can be accessed online on the world-wide web? if it has a password or a set of rules to access the information (like a lock on a personal diary - much like the way facebook pages can exist if the page is set to be viewed only by those granted access by the page's creator) then it is not for the world to view - as much as you'd like to believe it is. it's meant for those who have been given the privilege to access the information - the trusted with similar morals, such as family or real-to-life friends.

so what's the point i'm getting to with with all of this?
simply that if you dig around in search of things to be upset about, then chances are, you will find it. and if you search for things (especially in places where you don't have proper access to - say, someone's private diary or facebook account when they're not looking) then you deserve to read all the mean things you find. (and if they're aren't any mean things, then i hope you misinterpret all the private things you read as being directly pointed at you). i hope you are offended because you deserve to be.
