[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 7976918, member: 7006"] But that's kind of my point. I mean obviously I don't know who you are in "real life" and thus have no idea how far reaching the people who follow you or who you connect with on social media are... but if you aren't a "person of interest" (IE a famous person)... that circle is much smaller. Or more to the point, the people who go looking through your stuff is much more narrow and they probably care a lot less about the stuff you write than people who are "famous" (in whatever form or fashion that could be.) Now perhaps your place in the media landscape gives you a footprint and a fandom as large (if not larger) than Mearls had. I don't know. But as you said... people sometimes just don't realize how big of a footprint they actually have or just how interested other people are in what they have to say. So I don't blame people for not realizing just how large and how diverse their audience is, nor how exceedingly interested that audience is in everything that they post... so if at some point they "get caught" saying something that angers people (and they come to the conclusion that perhaps social media just isn't worth the time or effort) I don't think it's any wonder they just choose to walk away or no longer engage, nor do I blame them for it. Quite frankly I think we'd probably all be better off disengaging from social media more often than we do, but I also know that's not really going to happen any time soon. [/QUOTE]
