Internet Comment Etiquette, does it exist?


So I stumble across a lot of comments/feedback on many post,even mine.And at times I think to myself "My goodness,even if the comment is true to the person who posted it... is it even necessary? Did the person even think about if what they posted was kind or not?"

I learn that not everything that is in my mind needs to be verbalized or typed out because even if it may be true to me. I actually think about the other person and whether or not if what I might comment is necessary or kind.Like the saying goes "Think before you speak." Now it should be "Think before you type." :D

I'm screaming the same thing!!! I thought I would never find someone who agrees with me here.

Well put, too.

Drives me crazy how most questions go unanswered because everyone just wants to say untrue, unnecessary, and unkind things.

@InvaderNice: I don't know if this one user read my whole post but she actually answered my question and I had to apologize for my post being so long but thanked her for reading it while I deleted or ignored the other unnecessary comments.

@OpalFlower: understood, but when the qs are unclear, they can not be properly answered, so clarity is important!

Well with that said if anything the commenters can easily ask for clarification in order to answer the question or just not bother with answering at all (shruggs)

I guess it was about my q about a certain grammar Nazi. Don't u worry, I think before I speak. Not everything in life is kind, ok? Ok!

@Justsayit: Interesting that your name is "Justsayit".

I don't have a clue what you are talking about with the grammar Nazi comment.Maybe you can refresh my memory.

That is great that you think before you speak.Now I understand that not everything in life is kind but why is that? I mean it is a choice and I rather be kind more than anything to keep the peace flowing.

@OpalFlower: when I see a wrong, I point it out. I will not put peace before anything else.

Oh of course but with me it is a way in pointing things out in a peaceful way.That is just me though :D
