 I could try again
Hi, I browsed by today after being gone or a couple of years. I did stop coming by and posting because of the way some posters treated others.
There is no tone on blogs so we don't have the benefit of being understood the same way as we would in person.
In person when we say, "I would NEVER do that!" and it would sound as if we were just shocked or reacting.
On a blog, it comes across as judgmental and as if one feels superior. Which you might in the moment, but in person the moment might pass and the you would reach out in understanding.
Posting anonymously is just not the same as speaking in person. I think as time goes on people will learn how to be polite on the Internet. It's not the same as in person communication. |
