What some people find offensive on their wall, others may not. It's best to show discretion and not write anything that may cause embarrassment. People want their wall to represent the best side of their face, as one never knows who or for what reason their wall is being looked at. Nice article Shari.

Although your suggestion to follow up with the person who made the "angry" response might work with many people, I do know some things about the person and don't think that further conversation would be fruitful for either of us. There are so many positive people "out there" to engage with; why waste time with the others. One of the most wonderful lessons I've learned in my more "mature" years, is that in so many instances I have the choice of whom I interact with. :-) And you, 'my dear" :-), are definitely one of the people I love engaging with. :-) You know what’s fascinating about this whole Social Media Revolution AND doing a blog about it — I am always learning and so that gives me a continuous stream of info and experience to talk about.

However, just because one person chooses a certain level of participation on Facebook, for instance, does not mean that every connection will automatically KNOW -- or even be required to follow the same type of interaction. The key in my mind -- which was verified by George Kao -- is that we should treat each other as we would want to be treated ourselves. And then we can listen to individuals, and the crowd.
