Social media commenters are quick to react to anything they disagree with. Unfortunately, they don't always do their research or gather facts before forming opinions. We discuss the reactions to recent scandals in the publishing world, as well as across the board in today's society. What will the long-term effects be on the new generations coming up in this time of constant attacks from those hiding behind the anonymity of the keyboard? To prevent getting sucked into the mob mentality, we encourage the use of 3 R's--do your Research, take time to Respond instead of reacting, and always use Respect.
