think before you write


Sometimes it's easy to simply write an angry comment and not think about the consequences. You may think you are being very clever because no one knows who you are when you post a nasty comment in the chatbox, especially if you use a nickname. Or worse, if you use someone else's name.
Think before you write.
It's just cowardly behaviour when you post a nasty comment using another person's name. If you really have something you feel unhappy about, just tell the person straight. Hiding behind the computer writing petty remarks isn't going to solve any problems. In fact, the person you are angry with wouldn't even know what is wrong.
You need to tell the person what is wrong. Politely.
It is not nice to swear and write 'fish' because we all know it's meant to be a vulgarity. It's just plain rude and extremely cowardly behaviour. So please don't think you are going to get away with such bad behaviour because I will have my ways of finding out who you are. And I'd like to clarify, I don't mean writing nasty comments on this class blog only but also writing on your fellow friends' blogs. It hurts their feelings and the innocent person whose name you're using gets implicated.
Think before you write.
You need to have integrity in your words.
