chatroom ettiquette

Sundae · 03-02-2009, 01:15 PM

Actually, my main issue with chat (apart from the biggie of not being able to get there when everyone else is) was people with unrecognisable names.

I felt like an old square having to demand that people identify themselves - I want a chat based on Cellar values - you are who you are and I am interested in your real life situation. Glad that's not an issue anymore anyway.

Obv can't comment on V because I haven't been in chat for ages. But as it's not an issue that affects me I am in a position to ask you cut him some slack, LJ. The bottom has just dropped out of his world. And after all, what do you talk about there that is so private that a lurker is anathema? Makes me wonder...

I agree with you, LJ. No creepiness allowed.

I feel like there's an implication of what V may think he's eavesdropping on, because of his past activities in chat and on the Cellar. It causes an elephant-in-the-room effect. That wouldn't be there otherwise. It makes it tough to move on from that past, if that is possible.

Cellar values, now that's a creepy thought.

Also, I agree. I think the lurking is just garden variety passive aggressive behaviour and is the sort of stuff up with which we will not put.

Nice sentence structure.

Meaning I didn't make it up, it is (apocryphally) attributed to Winston Churchill. I just like it because it sounds so pompous.
