Tech No-No #23938:
People replying to other people on a blog/news story page when the post is not directly pointed at them.
(See above poster)
There was one "mean" post and it was towards someone else's advice Teresa. So save yourself some stress and take the good advice over the bad.
Which leads me to..
Tech No-No #89234:
Take everything you read on the internet with a grain of salt. People lie, so check the information you get. People are mean, so do not take everything personally. People attack others because they are weak in person. People cannot read emotion unless it is part of the text.
CAPS LOCK TYPING:
*This is not directed at anybody here* but I think the CAPS issue is more a generational "PC" rule.
Another example: I like to wear hats (baseball, beanies, etc) and wear them outside AND inside. I notice many people that are of older generations either give me a dirty look or verbally attack me to take my hat off when I come inside. To me, I am not disrespecting anybody by keeping my head warm in the winter and I truthfully forget I am wearing a hat sometimes. But I respect their opinion and take my hat off when they say it or I remember.
I wish others would share the same respect when it comes to things like the CAPS LOCK thing, cell phone etiquette, and even how loud people type.
