Is Anyone There?

[Dave Monroe]

“The Internet is something very informal that happened to a society
that was already very informal,” said P. M. Forni, an etiquette expert
and the author of “Choosing Civility.” “We can get away with murder,
so to speak. The endless amount of people we can contact means we are
not as cautious or kind as we might be. Consciously or unconsciously
we think of our interlocutors as disposable or replaceable.”
