Checking Facebook, I accidently brought up the comments on oa thread currently running here on Gransnet.. Initially, just two comments were showing, and one of them said of "Horrible bitch no need to spoil the magic". To begin with, II wrongly thought that was aimed at the poster. In fact, it meant her DiL However, the following comments soon used the same term for the poster. Irrelevant anyway, as it's a nasty comment regardless of who it refers to.
That comment, I thought, was bad enough, but it also made me think how much worse it could get. Is it fair to open members up to such uncontrolled abuse? Here on Gransnet, at least very unpleasant comments can be quickly removed, but not so on these other platforms. It seems very wrong to me!
What's more, it's yet another family issue that could easily be recognised by the dil in question or her friends on Facebook, and the consequences could be huge!
