There are so many contacts in this world and so many rules of etiquette that we make up along the way with the rise of social media. Ultimately social media is a form of publicly announcing our whereabouts, our thoughts, our hopes and dreams and failures and mistakes, our misdeeds, a spectrum of a human life. As we trapse alone with our lives, we are still connected to a giant bulletin board of stuff...a giant bulletin web if you will. Once one strand is stirred, hordes of people will see you and judge.
I don't think Weiner did a terrible misdeed. He did a stupid mistake and lied in a terrible manner to try to cover his mistake. So people call for him to step down because he was an idiot...but what makes him different from all other men? A lot and probably a lot of those features made him a better man than others.
I see friends reveal and gossip and rant...and I wonder when do I have to stop doing those things for the sake of my career.
