<p>Photographer Mark Byron made the embarrassing mistake of breaking his eighth tenet:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Revealing too much on the Internet. “The Web is the worst place to keep a secret. And anything can be subject to misinterpretation.”</p>
</blockquote>
<h2>Here’s what went down.</h2>
<p>Byron was so outraged about pending divorce and child visitation issues that he slammed his soon-to-be ex-wife as well as the legal system on his personal <a href="https://blog.loveawake.com/2020/08/31/the-complicated-world-of-facebook-friends/">Facebook page</a>.</p>
<p>He wrote:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“…if you are an evil, vindictive woman who wants to ruin your husbands life and take your son’s father away from him completely – all you need to do is say that you’re scared of your husband or domestic partner…”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>His statements landed him back in court, left with a choice from a Hamilton County judge – either post an apology to his wife and his Facebook friends or go to jail.</p>
<p>His wife made allegations that he was verbally abusing her, threatening her with his fist and threatening to “end” her life. It turns out he broke no laws. Even though there was no evidence to back up her claims, a civil protective order was issued instructing him to stay away from his wife.</p>
<p>He blocked his wife from viewing his Facebook page, yet she found a way around it and discovered his angry sentiments. This was interpreted as a violation of the protective order that prevented Byron from doing anything to cause his wife “to suffer physical and/or <a href="https://blog.loveawake.com/2021/10/18/relationships-that-are-doomed-to-fail/">mental abuse</a>, harassment, annoyance, or bodily injury.”</p>
<h2><strong>Here’s my take on it.</strong></h2>
<p>His statements on Facebook were proven correct when his wife used the powers the courts afforded her to make his life even more miserable. It was an incredibly vindictive move on her part.</p>
<p>Granted, it was tacky for him to talk about his divorce woes online for all to see. However, how can this be seen as harassment when she went out of her way to seek the post out? Terms like “mental abuse” and “annoyance” can be interpreted in so many ways that they are practically meaningless. This gives the Judge too much power.</p>
<p>So essentially the guy somehow broke the law by telling what he felt was the truth.</p>
<p>What about that pesky first amendment in the constitution? Sadly it’s ideal that the judicial system can arbitrarily toss aside at any time.</p>
