This is a...Interesting point, and a great insight. This is a huge issue...not only with adults, but with kids, as well. I've seen what can happen when rumors spread and things are said...all over IM, text messaging, etc. In cases where nothing is handled face-to-face, drama abounds.<BR/><BR/>I once (several years ago) communicated via email with some folks at a popular web site. Needless to say, my tone was misinterpretted and my email was circulated internally amongst the group. One of the individuals hit "Reply All" instead of "Reply" when he told the others what he thought about me...without ever having met me.<BR/><BR/>This perception of anonymity tends to breed an absolution of personal responsibility. Couple that with a lot of the situational ethics I see amongst many of the younger generations, and I can see how we really have to consider the societal effects of the Internet, in many aspects of our day-to-day lives.<BR/><BR/>H.
