‘‘netiquette’’

Below is a response by Another Viewer'', Jonathon Swift,from another
post/topic, ''Something to Think about''.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I thought it was interesting. He and I had an ongoing commentary about
religious traditons, and we responded back and forth for a few days. I
was impressed by some/most of his opinions, and he seemed to feel the
same about mine. I think we both were impressed that we didnt resort to
anger, in our discussion. I am not saying any of the other posters,
became angry.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<>His message below, helped me. I thought enough of it, that I am making
a NG Post, using his words.<>I may be violating a''netiquette'' rule, by
doing so.
<>If, so, I stand corrected, ahead of time,
(grin)<>I might be the newest txMotoNG
poster/responser in this great public forum. Therefore, I am sure I have
violated a few of the netEquette'se rules.
BUT GUYS, I think others, in here, have to, <> I TOOK the liberty of
using AV's comments, to POST this. We'll see If I get a good bashing.
(MY excuse is, I'm still on my honeymon, in here)

hey, i'm cool, i have no problem exchanging views with people who have
an open mind and don't lose it when someone says something different.
things like that can be difficult on usenet because there is no good
method of seeing the expression on the posters face to clarify the words
typed, hence the emoticons that get used to some extent. presumably
there is a common ground

found and everyone learns something to their mutual benefit. there are
always those who won't open up and are locked into their own particular
dogma for whatever reasons. those folks don't do so well in this eviron
because there is a sense of freedom from normal convention and conduct
that people wouldn't do in person. that's usually a follow-on to the
difficulties they similarly face in day to day existence and dealing
with people. it gets magnified here.

fwiw, have you ever scanned the manual about "nettiquette" ? it does
exist and it is the protocols for posting on usenet amongst other
things. it's a worthwhile read and explains many of the conventions
used, how and why they came about and why they are a good idea to
follow. one of my favorite summations:
A: It destroys the logical flow of discourse
Q: Why is top posting frowned upon ?

yer too kind but yah, it can be done, and pretty easily too if everyone
is willing.

thanks BJ.

 

I think I feel a little stupid. Here, I am posting about NG etiquette,
and I am probably the most''green'ish'' poster in here. Therefore, I bet
this will be another one of my shorter post/topics. I was caught up in
the moment, of reading AV's response. I still think it was good. Have
any of ya ever typed out a post/topic, and or a post/response, and, with
in moments, regretted clicking onto to SEND. This was posted by a novice
in an old tx.motoNG, of guys/gals who were in here, while I was learning
to use a simpe WTV, years ago. I'm okay,
In time, this one will be filtered out, by the company
''higher'ups''...I rectum. bjay
