Just Shut UP already

From: 9 Social Media Topics That Need to Die

I like anything that wishes death on social media memes but this one in particular rang true:

Joining the Conversation

This was probably a great phrase at the emergence of all of this, but it’s become so diluted that it means little anymore. Join which conversation? For what purpose? With whom? And what then? Let’s start talking about the INTENT behind the conversation in the first place, and the underlying value of being present and engaged with the right people who give a rip what you have to say, not just anyone with a frontal lobe and an internet connection.

I'd like to get that tattooed on my upper arm, so when I hear other people say 'start a conversation' about a project I am invested in, I can just flex my conversation-stopping pipes and we can start talking real strategy.
