| Forum: Why does this "community" suck so much? : Comment 5 of 28 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by Anonymous on 22-Feb-2003 16:37 GMT | In reply to Comment 3 (SlimJim):
these international sites are not alot different from IRC, where people from different cultures etc meet. But not even there are there too many of these clashes. I guess text in combination with long responsetimes can contribute some to these misunderstandings/impatientness.
If you have a live discussion on IRC with someone, you can quite quickly understand how this person thinks and what drives him. This is not at all easy on a forum like this, where you seldom have a lengthy discussion with anyone without alot of other people joining in with their 'short' opinions and without explanations to these.
a simple statement without explanation can escalate to a flamewar quite easily here, while on other mediums, people would ask how you came to this conclusion and work from there. |
