To further complicate the matter, when messages are published inside the inner-circle-of-friends, it is not possible to react on these messages when you are not friends with the originator of the messages. The following appeared on Facebook this evening:
For those of you who don't speak Dutch, this is a text full of attacks and name calling without referring to the names of the people that are attacked. But all friends will instantly know about whom the poster is talking.Since the persons attacked came to me for help, I decided the best thing to do would be to react on the provocations. Since we only had a screenshot sent by an anonymous friend, I first tried to invite the poster to become friends. But since I didn't got a repsonse and gossip-time was ticking, I asked one of the friends of the poster to lend me her account details. Luckily, she trusted me enough to do so.
Subsequently I wrote the following response on her message:
As in real life, it's hard not to get into the content of the argument but to focus on the way the discussion is held. Particulary since the discussion remains a one-way street when the other party is not on Facebook.
Is it so that our youth no longer understands the concept of "accountability"? These cowardly attacks were placed by a law student, who one day might have to represent values like honesty, integrity and responsibility. Does she realise that her customers, colleagues and friends will be able to see in 20 years time how childishly she behaved today?
Anyway, the attacked people are this wonderfull couple:
And the "attacker" is Viktorine VdP on Facebook:
I still hope she will accept my friend request one day.
I understand everything on this page, you should know that the thing you are doing is not much beter than: haat, wraak, lafheid,...! It's like doing gossip and talking negative about someone else. First of all, if you are really such a honest person and all the good things you talk about yourself than you can also mention the name of your so called 'reliable' anonymous friend. (don't forget it can be used against you and one day she is maybe not such a trustful person as you thought). The second thing is, you never know the situation between those people, you just hear things from other and then try to be good. But my point of view is that these things should be solved in private like, and not true facebook or what so ever. And a blog specially made for such a stupid fight is also very low and shows how incultivated some people are. Your just making the same mistake as other people do.
