less facebook, i think

I think Facebook is making me less tolerant of people with whom I disagree. I think it stokes my outrage and diminishes my toleration. I'm afraid that, over time, there will be fewer and fewer people with whom I speak (and to whom I listen). I'm afraid of developing resentments against people who are friends, or trying to be friends.

I'm afraid I will become less civil, less polite. I don't want to rebuff well-intended advances from people trying to make them in good faith.

The echo chamber of people who already agree with me should not be the only place I put my ears.

I'm not cutting it off, but I'm not staying long, either.
