Book: “The Road” Essay: “The Hell of Treblinka” Instigator: Eric
Here is our entry for round 1:
Etiquette:
We have some diverse opinions in our group. It is important to be respectful of
all perspectives. Obviously no personal attacks. It is great to give differing
views just be respectful in presentation. Remember on-line statements may sound
more harsh than in person. So, bear that in mind. Rather than saying "I
think you are wrong" in response you may want to say something like
"you make an interesting point. However, I look at it this way..."
Definitely you should not say something like "anyone who thinks that way has poop
for brains." or something like that. Finally, on the reverse side of
things also remember that on line communication can sound harsher than
intended. So please take any responses in the most positive light.
