Why I don't name and shame

I don't really see or participate in most of the drama on SW.

I choose not to name or shame people.
Some are indeed shameful,but I have learned to just report quietly, block quietly, and then go on with myself in my own lane
.
The closest I come to shaming is to put up a post about the individuals behavior without posting their name.
Many times this has let the person know that I am not ignorant of their intent.
I rarely to never get any response by the perpetrator.
It is a warning usually made in a nonthreatening way so they do not feel the need to retaliate,but do get that their conduct won't be tolerated.

People have their own cronies who will defend them and some shameful people have several accounts that would later shame me, if I cared to play that game,but I won't.
I learned this the hard way on EP it is a circle that keeps going nowhere.

This is not an admonishment of anyone else and people are free to do as they wish or feel they should.

I just don't want the headaches involved with calling people out who feel the need to retaliate later or worse.

If I felt it would do any good I may take that headache,but I know it won't and all it does is fuel flames that go on sometimes for days.

That should not be mistaken for apathy, because I would report criminal activity in any form.
If I felt the need,I would warn a person in private.

Agree. If I don’t like what someone is putting down I just ignore it or block it if it’s not something I want to see again.

I agree. I would rather just keep my head down and ignore and block as I have done. It just isn't worth getting involved with some.

I wasn't so wise when I started social media all those years ago...but I learned
I don’t name, either. A few times I’ve posted complaints about general things I’ve observed, not speaking about anyone in particular, and someone has felt personally judged anyway. 🥺

Unfortunately there are some that see themselves in every post and there are those who take every single thing you say wrong and try to twist it around.
Very wise.

Blocking is a personal choice.

Anyone with half a brain would get this and move on 😎

I was blocked by 3 female baby mommas on the same day within the same hour lol!

They are here for the clique factor and a daddy for their sprogs 👶

And no, they aren’t worth mentioning by name. Nobody with an agenda like theirs is 🥱
It’s here daily

I find it disturbing

They have little ones to take care of , their focus should be on their babies yet they are here using their kids to get attention from men.

Ugh

That sounds a bit abusive if they are using their children for attention.
It is a real plague of social media I see it on YouTube all the time
Poor kids

Some of the most appalling characters on here are narcissistic people who pretends to be "nice and love everyone" but really theyre gossiping about EVERYONE

Wow, that would take effort. 🤯
@Adogslife they seem to just come here for that purpose
