Often web users forget all about common courtesy once they get online. They seem to forget that they are interacting with other people with feelings just like their own, not soulless computers.
It’s important to make the effort to ensure you are coming across as polite online. Facial expressions, body language, tone of voice, and gestures convey what we’re saying more than our words do in face to face communication. None of this can be seen in online communication, making it easy for others to take our digital words wrong, so we have to find other ways to express our intentions online.
