I believe you are seeing what you want to see and interpreting what you want to interpret
I have this golden rule if I'm not willing to say it in public or to a person's face then I won't say it behind somebody's back
Or online
Benevolence is showing kindness and if you cannot be benevolent online that just shows who are person actually is
There is no point being kind and benevolent in the world is somebody is not willing to have those values throughout their life
Be that in private, in public or in their online persona
