I'm a #nt what ever that is?
I received this lovely post last night from the LinkedIn police.
Now I would like to think I'm usually quite a nice guy and I live and let live. I've had insults and derogitary comments before but this one has really got my goat.
I like to speak with different people on here some professionally and some personally. As we all know by now social selling can be can be great if done correctly. I have often got leads from friends and professional contacts alike.
This was a fairly innocent conversation about what our favourite chocolate bar is which has taken off into a tournament of champions thanks to Andy Burton. I do want to make 1 thing clear I never stand for bullies and I never swear or stoop to personal insults on social media. Dont get me wrong being 'on the tools' for 15 years I can swear like a sailor but it's just a line I don't tend to cross on LinkedIn.
If I don't agree with a post I'll just keep scrolling or occasionally remove and block that user if it's offensive. However I don't waste my time or energy trying to bully them them into my point of view. I'll admit I called this guy a 'sad little man' and also ointed out the more he commented the he would inevitably see the post so why bother?
Yes I made spelling mistakes as I typed some responses from the x-trainer in my gym so my have been a bit pre-occupied with other things like 'not passing out' or remembering to drink water. I just thought how can you tell someone to be professional then resort to personal insults the next? Is that a professional thing to do? I thought it was schoolground behaviour.
I was thinking to delete and forget but then I thought #whatwouldwinnetdo? See what I did there Mike? So i thought this guy needs exposing so here you go in all it's glory. I'm afraid the rest of the thread was deleted before I managed to screen shot it but I'll be happy to discuss it if anyone wants to DM me.
I'll also agree to remove the post once I have an apology. In the meantime I'm a #nt and proud. Feel free to tag this guy and his customers so they see what the power of social media can actually do.

5 年Posts like these should not be needed. Its social media...people across the globe see your content and comments. That in itself should make you think about the choice of wording. I guess trolls just don't care what people think of them and have the "im so cool look a me being a d%=#$" your posts reflect who you are. Lets keep linkedin positive and not full of facebook trolls.
