Practical Etiquette [Thursday, August 15, 2013]

"Somewhere right this moment," Josh intoned, "people are being wrong on the internet."

He glanced around the room. "Um, hopefully you guys know what the internet is because I am so not qualified to explain how it all works. The internet is in the computer, which are those machines all around the room. I've put a bunch of sites on the screens--political websites, Tumblr--which already annoys me by being spelled wrong--a few other moddable places. Surf around and be amazed at the powerful lack of grammar and sense these people make. If you choose to, engage in reasonable discourse with one of these yahoos."

Josh engaged in a lot of flame wars, FYI.

Flame Wars!

They're wrong. Just so wrong.

[OOC: Mod your fights at will, or get into flamewars with your classmates.]

Jim wasn't actively looking for a fight while he scrolled through the internet. He was more interesting in laughing at the complete lack of grammar and the inability to spell. Right now, he was an observer. He was too amused to get into a fight.

The main thing Bay was taking away from this exercise was that people really, really, really cared about which One Direction guy was sleeping with which other One Direction guy.

Talk to Josh or Lex!

Josh, at least, will be a little quiet.

Lex was being totally civil...in class. He was being very vocal in correcting online opinions on the Warrior Angel reboot and making plans to buy out the company to prevent it if necessary.
