The worst part is, most folks don't keep track of everything they put down in email, chat or on message boards and a tirade can get posted and reported again and again - sometimes with a few more words added in or take away. Best advice is to believe nothing of what you hear (meaning gossip) and only half of what you see (think long and hard on what you read and see because it might not be what you assume at first blush). Thankfully, the Internet allows us the opportunity to walk away from the people that aggravate us, it's a shame more don't take advantage of it.

I couldn't agree more. Some people don't realize just how many people are reading what it being posted, and gossip travels a lot faster than the truth. Excellent post. I couldn’t agree more.

If someone stirs a reaction to write a tirade in response, the safest thing to do is to write it, get it out of your system, and then save it to your drafts. Let it sit for several hours. It's amazing how when you get back to it most times you can't even remember why you were so worked up and it never gets sent. Email is such a difficult media. You have no emotional connection to anything but the words. You can't see facial expressions or hear those funny inflections in speech. Sometimes you can't tell if something is meant to be funny, sarcastic or mean. Sometimes people are just downright rude. Sometimes even the most innocent of messages can be misconstrued. Cyn and Maura...you are so right...being professional, and friendly are so important. Just state the concerns, stay calm and above all, be polite. It's just common courtesy after all. And I love that saying....I love honey! One of the most important tools in online life is the DRAFT box.

If I wouldn't have the drop-down-drag-out fight in front of my momma, I'm definitely not having it in front of ya'll. Maybe that's what authors should ask themselves before they start writing snark. "Would I write this to my momma?" If the answer is no, shut your trap. Cause guaranteed, your intended recipient isn't the only one reading your words. Ditto.
