A suggestion for all of us

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread

I just wanted to offer the gentle reminder to everyone that when we are typing words on a screen, we can't include the inflections and facial expressions along with the words. Please try to be sure that what you type will be read as you meant it. I know that is a tough thing to do, but the closer we all come, the less chance there will be for misunderstanding. Also, when we read posts that we strongly disagree with, we should all pause for a few minutes before answering so as to pass along sentiment without condemning the person who expressed the views we objected to. Communicating on the internet is much trickier than do so face to face.

Well said Sheryl! I know for for myself, usually when I type the words and hit that enter key, somehow it sure never comes out the way I had it in my mind!

DAMN... I read this just AFTER I blasted someone for insulting me in the previous post. Sheryl, you make an excellent point. Thank you.

Gary, you set into a giggle fit! Just for the record, I was reading an older post when I decided to make this one!
