Thank you Most Rev Justin Welby

He said Jesus Christ’s teachings and all the major world faiths shared a “golden rule”, which is to “treat others as you would like to be treated”. "When you put something out on social media, put the truth out,” he instructed."Frankly there is no such thing as an alternative fact. There is truth. There is absolute truth. There is opinion and there is truth."When you are expressing an opinion, show kindness. Don't go for the person rather than for the issue."https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/church-of-england-releases-social-media-guidelines-a4179666.html?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook&fbclid=IwAR0gdh35lKakI totally agree!

Good guidance. Another rule for social media is to read what you've drafted and, if it's a public rather than private post, think would I want my mother to read this ...

Agree!

Let us hope he practices what is preached.

Welby? Or me? :-)

"What is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow: this is the whole Torah; the rest is the explanation; go and learn." (Judaism)"Pay, Oh Children of Adam, as you would love to be paid, and be just as you would love to have justice!" (Islam)

Thank you David.I am not too sure what your message is meant to convey, as the article mentions aggression on social media.

Couldn't resist that. Just had lunch with some old friends celebrating one of their birthdays during which several of us had a discussion about cosmology with someone on our maths degree course (from the early '70s) who is now an Opus Dei priest. Interesting how people with diverse views (keep in mind I'm an atheist) can have a meeting of minds :-)

Sorry, I should have mentioned that these were examples of the Golden Rule, as mentioned in your first post.
