MY WORDS. Human Behaviors Online (and a few digs against myself as well)
Jun 18, 2009

Alright, stop laughing at the monkey picture.
--------------------------------------------------------
When sparks fly one does not want anyone burned.
HUH?
Words are like sparks, sparks to flame.
To put out the flame, one doesn't add more fire does one?
One stands back, accesses the damage and extracts one of the elements required.
In the case of human fires. It is not as easy. We all have voices and some of us use ours louder or more detailed or different from another.
All are fine if well thought of before they are typed.
We are all human and err..YES we do.
But here, if we do or even sometimes we don't but someone else takes it wrong, well all Dante's Inferno goes loose.
Um, to achieve sanity, grasshopper, take a step back, prioritize what is truly important in life and by the time you do that, guess what? You just may be cool enough to let off too big a spark to put out.
-----------------------------------------------
Hmm, am I saying one should just "take it" and pass?
There are reasons we don't at times. A word can cut too deep and scar, believe it or not.
The old adage of turn the cheek can happen, but if both cheeks are smacked, well there has to be a boiling point.
It happens here. The finger pointing starts, the fire gets bigger and it happens on a periodic basis here online.
Use the tools that are given (and within the rules of the site you are on, come on, be ethical about it!) and allow for time for people to deal with it. But they do need to deal with it equally and fairly and not allow it to stew. Be real about it.
 Censurship also is not a tool to be used unless clear violations are seen. Saying the wrong thing and sugar coating it with hearts and smiles is still the wrong thing to say.
Abuse is abuse even out of a smiling face.
-------------------------------------------------------
I find I also comment on posts that I should just let fly. Even if I say them with the utmost care not to be mean, I still do it on occasion. But I do it with as much thought as I can. But, alas, The Mad woman is just human, ya know.

As humans we do lose our cool..from time to time..and those that push the buttons can be relentless sometimes..sad as that is..
Absolutely there are tools here in Care2..and we need to use them..rather than get into petty childish back and forth garbage.. Care2 does take care of those thing very well..I know I appreciate the good work and difficult job they do..
But until they can get to whatever is brewing badly..very important to back off..step a way..and put your time to better use..All works out in the end..and that way you stay out of trouble..and let the real trouble makers get what is due to them..

Thanks..
Great share Jacki..
