I agree 100%. It is quite easy to confront someone about an issue you might have a problem with when you do not have to look them in the eye. Social media allows this. Forums, too, for that matter. However, standing firm in front of someone and letting them know you think they are wrong, and you are digging in, still takes guts, and if done correctly, class. It is a different issue altogether when you are eye-to-eye and toe-to-toe.
As for promoters, track owners, and series directors, the issues brought up via social media are not going to go away. One has to realize that you are open to criticism 24/7 now and said criticism will be voiced. It isn't like one guy disagrees with the track owner, argues with him post race in front of three fans, and that is that. Now, the "social media" argument is one sided and open to hundreds to read about. Hence, pile on time.
A changing world we have always lived in. It will continue to change.
