Subject: [MOPO] Words
MoPo'ers:
Time for a comment...
Please remember
that there are limitations to communication via computer and
that these
electronic "words on a screen" will sometimes betray you when you
are
counting on them most.
These electronic words do not allow for FACIAL
_expression_; no wink, smile,
or raised eyebrow. These electronic words do
not allow for a varying TONE;
no softness, no yelling, no laughter. But
these words DO have the power to
HURT and BELITTLE as some recent posts
have demonstrated.
There are a few of you who need a remedial course in
dealing with these
"words on a screen." It should be mandatory that you
read a post at least
twice before you fire off any response to make sure
you truly understand
what the "words on a screen" actually say. There's no
worse feeling than
realizing after hitting the SEND key that you totally
misunderstood
another's message.
You should also remember that there
are real human beings reading your words
and write accordingly. There's
enough rudeness and disrespect in the world
already. We don't need more of
it here on MoPo.
Just my nickel on the subject...
