Tolerance, Sensitivity, and Abrasiveness

["Todd Brautigam" <brautt@myapc.com>]

I feel that we (RadSafe) are experiencing one of the negative points of our digital age. When we converse with someone face to face... or even verbally over a telephone, we glean much information on the intent of the words by reading facial and body expressions or vocal inflections. In our medium, we do not have that luxury. "Who cares?" can be interpreted many different ways depending on the intent. So, we should all remember that the intent is not always easily discerned here. Keep that in mind when you read a post, and especially when you make a post... choose your words carefully so as not to unintentionally offend someone when you merely meant to make light-hearted banter.



Just my own 2 cents.



Todd
