Netiquette---’Internet Etiquette’
Wait to respond to a message that upsets you and be careful of what you say and how you say it.
Be considerate. Inappropriate communication will not be tolerated. Never post a message that is in all capital letters -- it comes across
to the reader as SHOUTING! Keep messages short and to the point. Always practice good grammar, punctuation, and composition. Keep in mind that threaded discussions are meant to be
constructive exchanges. Be respectful and treat everyone as you would want to be treated
yourself. Use spell check!
