Do others think of these as universal rules? Common? Situational? Non-existent?
Reading the OP, I fear I don't know the rules at all. I've participated in online forums in every medium and for a long time, and never thought about these. Maybe I've been disruptive or rude without realizing it. :(
- commondream 4y agoOP here - we've done a lot of talking and interviewing people about their thoughts on other communication tools, and these are definitely common threads. That said, I don't know that they're universal. Also I think a ton of people judge themselves significantly more harshly than they judge others when it comes to communicating online at work (although yes, judging others harshly is also certainly a thing).
