TMI

Trump, Corker feud reignites hours before critical meeting | TheHill:

Perhaps you've seen the letters "TMI" on Facebook or Twitter.  They stand for "too much information".  This article falls into that realm.  So called "journalists" delight in fomenting public spats that should be settled privately.  The scriptural method of settling differences is for the offended one to go personally to the offender and seek a solution.  Or, if one becomes aware that something they have said or done has offended another, they have the responsibility for privately seeking a resolution.  Instead our leaders are engaging in middle-school verbal one up-man-ship in public venues.  The end result is that young people see this and deem it as a license to do the same thing.  While these same leaders would decry "cyber-bullying" they do so while participating in it.  We are rapidly losing the art of conversation as a means of communication and many of our elected leaders are more and more taking their disagreements into the public square and trying to brow-beat those who disagree with them into acquiescence.
Come on people!  It is time to grow up and engage in private interaction in order to bring about a peaceful resolution of differences.

Not only is this a problem in the political realm, but during various sports seasons the same sort of thing takes place on social media sites among "fans" of different teams.  Some would cite the old children's saying, "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me."  That could not be further from the truth.  The number one area of abuse among mankind is verbal abuse.  Words created all that is and according to scripture your words will either acquit or condemn you. (Matt. 12:36-37)  "I tell your that on the day of judgment people will have to account for every careless word they speak.  For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned."
