If not, they would be apologizing and rephrasing their statements, not justifying them.Amanda C.

I've belonged to Writing.com for two and a half years, where members read and review each other's work. The untactful, inflammatory voice some writers use when expressing themselves sometimes shocks me. Especially in our modern, computer-driven modes of communication, the words we choose must be carefully thought-out, since our listeners don't have the luxury of visual cues like facial expressions or audio cues like tone of voice. And above all else, we all have to remember that out there in cyberspace, a real human is going to read what we type, one with feelings who deserves the same respect we demand for ourselves.<br /><br />Great post! I'm signing on as a follower; I look forward to reading more from you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01899768909313326172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7649844631127723420.post-37771637484894680412010-03-19T18:38:13.319-04:002010-03-19T18:38:13.319-04:00This calls for one mammoth facepalm.

Argh ... yes.<br /><br />Less likely to cause explosions and bruised feelings (usually ;-)), but people who don't try to at least approximate basic grammar in posts ... ON A WRITING FORUM ... drive me bonkers. A few typos, colloquialisms, sure, it's a chat venue, too - but especially if you're going to ask for help / opinions, make the effort.Lindsey Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06544943749349803429noreply@blogger.com
