“Kenny: You have to learn to post your comments in the thread; you can’t only post on the Wall. Cut-and-paste these into the…thread. I am going to delete them in the next hour. Thank you” this was message i just received before my postings were unceremoniously deleted. lost to posterity. all due to not adhering to protocol i was unfamiliar with. ahh the anarchy of the web, you must love it.
Instead of a gentle comeuppance for my lack of net decorum, I received a digital slap-down. Ouch. And to boot, the language i was chided with bordered on didactic. When I crossed the invisible but solid line of facebook etiquette the repercussions were swift and unequivocal.
hy not a kind, soft landing of complaint rather than a scorched earth? Or am I paranoid. We express our own worst fears about ourselves when we claim to criticize others (one of my erased texts).
Our walls are our own(ed) cyber “space”, though public and private simultaneously.
