Online conversations lack the bandwidth of actual human contact, while cultural and language differences are more prominent. "Assume good will*" is a great axiom to live by online. Whenever you see or read something that's shocking to you, cool down and try to imagine someone else's shoes from where that thought could come by: it's a necessary step towards understanding, and conflict resolution. Of course, it's easier said than done. In asynchronous communication: take your time before responding :) Regards, == hk *: Assume Goodwill is one of the few rules expanded by Howard Rheingold in "Net Smart: How to Thrive Online". It first appeared in 1998 in http://rheingold.com/texts/artonlinehost.html It takes the premise that nobody has the whole picture, and that one should always cooperate on the first attempt. This is a very powerful position that assumes cooperation wins over competition. We know it does, right? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQJ8BAEBCgBmBQJV9vJtXxSAAAAAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25zLm9w ZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXRFQ0IyNkIyRTNDNzEyMTc2OUEzNEM4ODU0 ODA2QzM2M0ZDMTg5ODNEAAoJEEgGw2P8GJg9s6AQAIu0pN0/f/awyc/Al1nOQ8OL 66HXbjHrKpCKlMgcnpzCoMKMmpTw/i7TZBZpi/A8nGh+x4Qd6ZG3UyJK1WDXxWSQ P6wM6pbuC2pF96bTvGZgwOSloSEOhyKxwbi3QddvpBGN4/3uKgWAO8jykNRW7FGV qAkMn4OY08T2UPNIhjQmNDDyExNf8x91NRa7pI8XThHy25ugKu8mkp0LJQL010cB nnmJ43ubpx/6dbW/IiPUwnRzbURgLU3RbDtJCpuh7IU13kmm4j5CNjZA+Drw1sPr AC5DhGWsURinQFc9t+kKffosvjCPPgNWstnCprh6T9DKEoYLaohWu1FkU1z7CV5I /DtanbXjxyJUKV0GZRrRBCvhpbYmOEr8HiMv0nbx322/5WthN5+JKWyi+kfJn+Ex dPbepfdRHoLcLPX+jH7w8xw1K4h02rsOlNIZes7WFfFg0PEeRUC5KhUgz9EeJOHn IwIHFYdjBaP0X5z8Z2dFwelCMOqumrgZanudGiCyR/NrkunWskUgqOM/r1K9U1eK wuq0nq6KR88WdqMBycbQskNnAWxnYLIW77w/p13VtuedsBmOnLWKprqePXUMBBzs bNaDJe2DYG4PNoYbLIcUf2i4Xm2pbB7JtkzzXJ2377dL+sj7OIPD1B5L/tdYHOT1 TNQnudtJCh2D13E2IYim =Ra5P -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
