Almost lost your comment, lol. They're starting to get buried, and I do spend the time on them daily.
Reputation is everything and something that is built over time. People don't take it lightly when you start to toy with that and it can get nasty. As I say, there is a line to be crossed, or not.
I also try to stay away from negativity and controversy but sometimes you are dragged into it without your permission. Handling such a situation is an art in itself and it makes you stronger.
It's usually for the best but there are times when something should be said. It's not always easy to know when that is. Definitely an art.
That's right @calumam, a person has to say what he has to say. Only a true artist can do that! It takes a lot of courage and that is not everyone's cup of tea.
Even I have boundaries and if someone crosses them, I raise my voice too. Sometimes, silence is not an option anymore.
