That just seems to be human nature.

Sometimes, you just have to get it out of your system.

What works for me is to compose a loooong email about what is bugging me, to read and reread it, and to then press delete, rather than send. All the time chuckling over the discontent actually sending the message would’vve caused…..heheheheh

@Jan – This is the SEO community: I figured that if I was too polite, they might get confused 😉 (JK – I love you guys)

@Bev – That’s a great point. I actually tend to be a bit sarcastic at times (more with friends than professionally), and it just doesn’t translate well online. We lose a lot of subtle cues and body language in emails and blog comments, and emoticons don’t cover the gap. Besides, you can only use so many winky faces without becoming annoying, a fact that I’m living proof of.

There is just such a lot of rudeness and intolerance for another person’s point of view on the internet it can be really off putting. I suppose the reason behind it is the high degree of anonymity that the internet gives.

I think they entire Internet should read this so they can do the same practices.

What a good and thoughtful post. Civility makes the difference between a good day and a bad one, and it is pleasant to see you thinking this out. It never hurts us to act with respect for the dignity of others and can only make us feel our day has been a better one when we lie down to sleep at night.

I continue to be such a fan of your writing, Pete.

Miriam

The best advice is to truly just walk away..well put.

People forget that what they intend as a witty zinger can actually be very hurtful and counter-productive. Sometimes the best answer is to step away from the keyboard….
