Hi Daisy,
I've been thinking about this too, and I don't really have any insight about it that's gelled in my head.One thing I did notice is that some threads and responses seemed to get more heated than one might have predicted from the beginning. Perhaps for those of us who are sensitive to conflict or who might be a bit more hypervigilant in watching for physical or body language cues, we're feeling anxious and "off" since we don't get those cues here?
Just a thought.
I also tend to be one to try to soothe feelings of others when I perceive that there might be a misunderstanding or something similar going on. And that's not always possible. And not always the right thing to do. So in my case, I get more cautious about posting and try not to feel rejected. (That's sort of a prevalent feeling for me IRL at the moment, so I'm a bit primed to feel that way.) :(
I think it's a great topic. You come up with a lot of great thought-provokers. :)
