"Fun" for some, yes, but at who's expense? There's something about
electronic communication that seems to allow people to WRITE things to
people that they hardly know that they would probably never SAY to that
person face to face. I have found myself writing such messages. I'm
trying to learn to cancel those message before sending them off. Let's
remember that we're communicating with REAL people who have REAL
feelings and that what we write in a fit of rage (even justified rage)
can be really destructive and lasting.
