Fighting, Facebook, and Fame

One more entry in the "this class seems to follow me wherever I go" category!

Bristol and Willow Palin get into a Facebook flame war with some posters who don't like their current reality TV show:

As the author of this article points out, this certainly shows how quickly something can go from an exchange of (fairly mild) insults ("your TV show is no good") to full-on nasty name-calling. And of course, if you're a public figure, everyone sees it.

The grown-up in me has to wonder: why didn't they just delete the comments about the show and then block the people from posting again? The whole fight wouldn't have happened. Also, maybe they shouldn't have open Facebook profiles!
