Proverbs in the internet age

The internet would be a very different place if we paid attention to God's wisdom:
A person who is passing by and meddles in a quarrel that’s not his
is like one who grabs a dog by the ears [...] 
 
Without wood, fire goes out;
without a gossip, conflict dies down. 
As charcoal for embers and wood for fire,
so is a quarrelsome person for kindling strife. 
A gossip’s words are like choice food
that goes down to one’s innermost being.
Proverbs 26 v17, 20-22
