some food for thought: there are many things that are
considered rude in a public setting. one of the
rudest things, in my experience, is to chide someone
very specifically (especially repeatedly). but i'm
gonna risk it this time (only in that we've been
reading posts and know who has said what) to toss out
the idea.
we've been discussing kylie and her actions as though
she weren't here and an equal member of this forum.
what's up with that?
we can't manipulate and change people. we _could_
help each other, though, if we wanted to. if we want
to _help_ someone, i don't think there's anything
wrong with sending him/her an email and expressing our
opinion or the things we've learned and gained through
experience. but telling a person _here_ "how it is"
with condescension in all our infinite wisdom is about
as immature as it gets.
it doesn't preserve anyone's dignity or help them
grow.
on another subject: i think posting n-etiquette would
be very nice of any of you. some who like over the
rhine sway heavily on the fuzzy side as opposed to
techy...so we don't all have the same net time, ya
know?
