Shooting on former friends/colleagues/employers

Is it ever justified to go scorched-Earth, and just put everyone on blast?

How much abuse do you take, in the workplace or in social settings, before enough is enough and you have to expose the truth for the sake of sanity and morality? Or must you always be prudent, remain silent and go on your way, never telling what you experienced?

I've had to deal with a lot of abuse over the years in man different manifestations, but the cruelest was the ostracism, and the casual cruelty. It's demoralizing to keep "rising about it." And if I get snippy, or nasty with someone I am immediately cast as some angry unpleasant prick. It's very depressing.

"rising above it."

Everyone else is maintaining the façade, OP, and it is expected that you will be equally resilient to get along.

OP, it is very difficult for me to resist driving into chicken fucking evangelical swamp hell and shooting everything that moves with an Uzi, but I have so far. Strength, patience, voodoo curses.

R3 but when’s the breaking point? Isn’t it stymying potentially healthy change and progress always to keep everything bottled up and fake it? When did we all become so cravenly afraid of honesty?

Maybe spending too much time here makes me think that, though. None of the posters here are ever hesitant to tell me or other regulars what time it is when we put a foot wrong. Real-life interactions seem strained and nebulous by comparison.
