How much time do you waste on social media?

I admit, I waste far too much. In the past I have excused the "waste" as practice, writing that is. However, I must now admit that it is simply procrastination. I should have spent that time working on my novels. Creative writing is hard work. Trust me, I know. I've worked as a laborer, a soldier, sailor, tinker and, if the opportunity presented itself, spy.

Each morning when I start my computer and open my web browser, three tabs appear automatically (according to my settings); Email, RallyPoint, and Facebook. At least 100 emails accumulate by 0900. I've closed my other social media accounts such as Twitter, et al. I keep only RP (my favorite community to "socialize" with) and Facebook (to keep track of friends and family).

Then there's Quora. I suppose answering a question there once, the first time, was a mistake. Ever after I receive scores of email alerting me that someone has "requested" my response. Right. I ignore at least 95% of them (Just look it up in Google or Bing). However, if the request seems honest, I respond honestly. However, one such request yesterday became a lesson in futility. Quora allows those who post questions to delete responses and leave insults in their wake. Here's the link... https://www.quora.com/Are-liberals-more-aggressive-than-conservatives/all_comments/Chrys-Jordan?__nsrc__=4&__snid3__= [login to see] &comment_id=138428231&comment_type=2

Thus, I bid ado to Quora as I did all other social media. I will remain on RP where I may be blocked but at least no one can delete my offensive comments and leave an insult in their wake.
