Are you loving or being a bully?

On Facebook I have enough friends with different enough political views that I see for and against posts for most issues.  Unfortunately, almost all of the 'against' views seem to fall into the realm of snarky put-downs of the other side.  I have seen this behavior on the issues of gun control, abortion and same-sex marriage.  People who are for a cause seem to either put up supporting words, or put up links to pictures, videos or other posts which cut down the other side. 

Friends - this is bullying, that somebody would put up a snarky post making one side of the issue look foolish or stupid.  This seems especially bad to me from people putting up posts calling supporters of traditional marriage backward, homophobic and close-minded, if not stupid.  How ironic that somebody supporting a highly bullied group should resort to bullying! 

A definition I heard yesterday for bullying behavior was that it was intended to mock, belittle and destroy the self-worth of the victim.  If what you post supports one side of an issue - awesome!  If what you post attempts to destroy one side - boooo! 

Let us try to be loving and supporting.  There's enough snark on Fox News for the world, we don't need more in Facebook.
