We don't write online as if we were speaking, Agnes. We write online. We are not physically present together, we don't have the visual and social cues available, and we go over the top more easily than we would face-to-face.

That said, Plutonium Page has lots of experience and didn't need to go bananas. Whatever past disagreements there may have been.

Well, so I am the one missing the point right now. I was just trying to help cooling things off, but I guess I'll get back to my diaries.:-) BTW, what d'you think of the idea of diary I suggested, afew ?

I got involved replying to another comment below, or I would already have answered: good idea, I'm looking forward to seeing it!

(Expect a lot of participation because, among EuroTribbers, I think that the experience of cross-cultural divides is perhaps the biggest common denominator -- and possible cause of jumpiness?)

from my (very) recent experience, a lot of participation is the best reward I can get when writing a diary!
