The negativity of the internet bothers me as well. Somewhat amusingly, I find it is often difficult to express agreement with someone without confusing them, there seems to be an assumption that if you are replying to someone you are probably disagreeing with them.
Despite feeling this way, any time I go back and read my own recent comment history, I am shocked to find that most of my comments are still corrections/disagreements.
- drcomputer 12y agoI am in the habit of persistently deleting comments. Sometimes my disagreements are just one half of a conversation I should be having in my head, alone.
- kazagistar 12y ago"Essay writing" is a nice habit to help with this. Sometimes, my brain is too small to store the extent of a conversation, so I pull up a text editor, and write comments there, respond to them, and so on.
- bryanl 12y agoWhy not start your comment, "Hello. I agree with your points. I'd also like to add ..."?
- rahimnathwani 12y agoHello. I agree with your points. I'd also like to add that it would quickly become meangingless if everyone started to do this.
