I am often struck, in the online space, by how quick people are to judge others. By how people rush to point out how someone else is doing it wrong. Oh, yes. Taking cheap shots, ridiculing others, or otherwise belittling people seems to be a favorite pastime ’round The Interwebs.

“YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG!”

While I have no interest in spoiling anyone’s fun (I love fun!), I have a couple of questions, namely: “What is this accomplishing?” and “How is this helping?”

The interesting thing about this is that a great many of the people doing it are doing so in the name of bettering social media. It’s interesting since what they’re doing is distinctly anti-social.

So, I have a suggestion.

If you happen upon a site that you think needs improvement or observe someone doing something in a way that [you think] could stand a little improvement, try encouraging. Make a suggestion. HELP.

If you can’t do that, then you’re doing it wrong.
