NETIQUETTE
There is a right
and a wrong way to behave in chat rooms. Below is a list
of things you should concider when you are typing away in
a chat room.
SHOUTING: WHAT
IS SHOUTING? ACTUALLY WE AREN'T SURE WHAT SHOUTING IN
CHAT IS... I MEAN... HOW CAN YOU SHOUT WHEN YOU DON'T
REALLY HEAR ANYTHING WHEN YOU ARE TYPING AWAY? I'M NOT
EVEN SURE WHY TOXY PUT ME UP TO MENTIONING
"SHOUTING." OH WELL. NEXT TOPIC.
PROFANITY: This
I just don't comprehend. I'm not going to give you
examples of how to profane like I showed you how to
shout, because profanity only belongs in the mouths (and
type) of intelligent people. If you think you are smart
enough to just say F'in this and F'in that in chat, then
I have some news for you: you aren't.
Intelligent people
know when to express themselves with force (not the Jedi
kind) and it is never in a personal way. Telling someone
that they are "the shit" is okay, telling
people to "eat shit" is not. Telling someone
that they "kick ass" is okay, telling them to
"kiss your ass" is not. I'm sure that you
understand the difference. If not, just don't profane at
all. You can't lose there.
RIDICULE: There
is a fine art to making fun of someone that infringes on
any of the previously mentioned "breaches of
Netiquette". You have to be calm, calculating, and
very NON-OFFENSIVE in nature. You can't just say people
are stupid and expect an acceptable response. Those that
would be ridiculed will have to remain calm to fight
back, as it IS a war of words. Once they delve into
profanity or shouting, you have won the war. Telling
him/her that is probably the best part of winning.
