It really is the little things.

A fellow in a Lotus forum posted that he had just bought another car and it lacked some bits which I have in spares. So I decided to examine his social media persona before maybe offering them up.

He lost my offer before even getting it. Turns out he’s a poster boy for a pet peeve of mine. It’s fashionable these days to take sides (name any issue) then drop any attempt at taking personal responsibility for what one decides to believe regarding hot button issues. Let the loud mouths on your team set the script and then you indulge in outrage and comment menace as part of a loyalty regimen.

It’s pathetic. His posts were stunningly inappropriate.

I withdrew any thought of volunteering parts.

Social media accentuates the positive in positive people and does just the opposite for the easily commandeered.
