Cohousing-L Mailing List: RE: Face to Face

[Forbes Jan (jan.forbes]

Sharon, you've just illustrated my point.  

In my experience in face to face situations people wait their turn to speak.
With email it's open go.   

Also it's easier to be disagreeable towards someone you don't know and may
never meet.  It certainly it reduces the negative consequences of being
unpleasant.  Ofcourse you're free to disagree.;-)
