Emotionless communication

You know, emails, texts, IMs, etc...

I swear texts have led to more arguments than anything else I've ever dealt with. The lack of emotion or tone in a simple sentence can create complete chaos.

It's crazy how a simple word like "sure" can be interpreted in a bunch of different ways.

I think I'm going to swear off texting! mad

yup, although to be honest it only ever happened with ONE particular person who obviously jumped to a lot of conclusions and I was always back-pedalling and in the end it was way too exhausting to keep that shit up dead

anyone I text/chat with now are normal and know I would never say anything that was meant to intentionally hurt them. We can laugh off misunderstandings whew

This shit always happens every year or so. I guess it's when the newest crop of orgers realize that they hate me too. lol

I wouldn't mind fucking Erin, I guess.
But only in a way that involved emotionless communication. I recently read a post of hers that stated that she was going thru some shit right now, & I wouldn't really want to get involved.



I hope the newest crop of orgers all end up burning in hell.


Oh, and is kewlschool really that popular around here?

I hate texting. If you want to drop a short, coherent piece of information and don't expect more than maybe a short answer, a text message will do. If you want to start a conversation, fucking call them! I hate "helloooo, how are you smile" texts and I never answer them. In fact, I will probably avoid these people in real life too.

On the org, I also wish that we could see each others faces and hear each others voices more often, when we discuss things. I'm quite sure it would have spared me (and a lot of other people) quite some trouble, misunderstanding and a weird image.

If I really get to know someone through the internet and I actually seem to like them, my main goal is usually to meet them some day (like I did with Viv, Lisa, Phil and Val and so on, or like I will do with Herman and Iwan soon, for instance), but I also got to know some people who I really got a long with, but didn't met yet and who I'm fine with talking on the internet only. The distance makes it easier to trust and share and I quite fancy it that way. Of course, talking to someone on the net only requires both people to go the extra mile to understand the other one and to assume that the other one's intentions are positive only.

I've seen this happen just by being on the org! lol

It's surprising how people can often misunderstand each other when you don't have tone of voice or accompanying body language working in conjunction with the words. In another forum I belong to, it's always shocking how harsh the blog founder comes across in her posts, but when you hear her speak ( via chat videos created specifically for members), she's the biggest sweetheart with the kindest nature. I rarely text or IM unless it's to confirm an appointment wit someone.

The lack of "emotion" as you call it, in printed text, has led to quite a few arguments here on the Org as well.
