[Artemisia] Email and Social Interaction

[Michele Wolf]

I definitely understand what you mean about the subtleties of a conversation without adequate vision.  But this
list is worse.. it is a conversation without adequate vision or hearing!  This is a conversation of Helen Kellers!
Given that, we're not doing too badly.

Then I realized that, thanks to this mailing list and others like it, we
have an environment in which we constantly re-create conversation with
less-than-perfect vision.

And we find:

1.  A greater quickness to see offense than in face to-face interaction.
(Could something similar have contributed to the excesses of duelling
cultures?)

2.  Speakers often expressing themselves more fully and cautiously than
they do face-to-face.

Some of our best re-creations are those we do accidentally.
